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

In recent years, remarkable advancements in paediatric cardiology and surgical techniques have dramatically increased the survival of patients with congenital heart disease. As a result, adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD) are now living longer, and many, despite having residual lesions and sequelae, may have near-normal life expectancy. Adults with congenital heart disease patients should no longer be viewed merely as survivors; instead, medical care should shift its focus from simply prolonging life to enhancing quality of life and overall well-being. Moreover, as ACHD population ages, they are increasingly exposed to a burden of acquired cardiovascular and extracardiac disease, making early intervention on modifiable risk factors a key priority. Herewith, we provide an overview of the multiple aspects that should be considered in this holistic approach to guide everyday issues of ACHD patients, including nutrition, physical activity, sexual health, cancer prevention, respiratory disease, and infective endocarditis.
