Functional magnetic resonance imaging study on short-term memory changes in children after congenital heart surgery.
Article in Journal of cardiothoracic surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
objectiveTo explore the behavioral characteristics and brain mechanism of short-term memory changes in children with congenital heart disease before and after operation.
methodsTwenty children aged 6 ~ 9 were tested with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and short-term memory behavior 1 week before and 2 weeks after operation, and the data before and after operation were analyzed by paired t-test.
resultsThe values of ALFF after operation in left inferior temporal gyrus, middle temporal gyrus, right superior temporal gyrus and bilateral anterior cingulate gyrus were lower than those before operation, and the correct rate of short-term memory after operation was lower than that before operation. The ALFF values of bilateral anterior cingulate gyrus and right superior temporal gyrus were positively correlated with the correct rate of active memory tasks.
conclusionThe impact of congenital heart surgery on children’s short-term memory may be related to changes in the functions of the temporal lobe and the anterior cingulate cortex.
