1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Individuals with congenital heart disease are living well into adulthood, resulting in a growing population at risk for neurocognitive and psychosocial challenges. Numerous studies have described these risks in childhood, but significant gaps remain in our understanding of how those challenges evolve across stages of adulthood and how to optimally integrate neurocognitive and psychosocial care for adults with congenital heart disease. A multidisciplinary group of experts and patient partners assembled in April 2024 in Atlanta, GA, forming 3 working groups: (1) Genetics and Brain Health, (2) Characterizing Neuropsychological and Psychological Outcomes, and (3) Neuropsychological and Psychosocial Interventions. Current knowledge was reviewed, knowledge gaps were identified, and recommendations to address these gaps were formulated. Five critical questions regarding the characterization of neuropsychological and psychological outcomes of adults with congenital heart disease were prioritized for discussion: which neurocognitive and psychosocial domains should be prioritized in research and clinical care, what are the trajectories of neurocognitive and psychosocial functioning over the lifespan, how should neurocognitive and psychosocial screening be deployed, what should neurocognitive and psychosocial assessments include, and how do we make comprehensive neurocognitive and psychosocial care a reality. Although many gaps in knowledge were identified, particularly around characterizing neurocognitive trajectories throughout adulthood, there is substantial evidence of increased risk for poor psychosocial outcomes among adults with with congenital heart disease. Clinical and research advances must progress in tandem to address these risks. Specific recommendations for advancing this field over the next decade are offered.
