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

aimThe aim of this scoping review was to identify, explore and map the available literature on long-term health-related outcomes in children born with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) in Australia, following discharge from a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). STUDY

designThis scoping review used Johanna Briggs Institute (JBI) review methods to identify qualitative and quantitative peer-reviewed journal publications, published between January 2005 and June 2025. DATA SOURCES: Ovid MEDLINE, Scopus, Ovid Embase and Google Scholar. DATA SYNTHESIS: Database searches produced 57 potential studies; 5 met the inclusion criteria. All studies included Australian-based participants and discussed outcomes after discharge from NICU. Children surviving at 1 year of age were identified in two of the included studies. Neurodevelopment and psychosocial long-term health-related outcomes and sequelae were identified in three of the five studies. Quality of life was discussed in two of the studies, and multisystem involvement, such as respiratory and gastrointestinal, was the focus of one study.

conclusionThe findings of this scoping review demonstrate that there is a dearth of peer-reviewed literature available on long-term health-related outcomes for children born with CDH in Australia. As survival rates of neonates born with CDH continue to increase, more research is needed to better understand the long-term health outcomes, and therefore the long-term health needs, of this population group.
