Cardiovascular Risk in Adolescents with Congenital Heart Disease Living in a Low-Income Region: Cross-Sectional Associations with Clinical, Behavioral and Sociodemographic Factors.
Article in Pediatric cardiology, 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
backgroundAdolescents with congenital heart disease (CHD) have high cardiovascular risk (CVR), related to clinical, behavioral and socioeconomic factors. A sedentary lifestyle, physical inactivity and unfavorable socioeconomic conditions can aggravate this risk, while regular physical activity, a healthy diet and lipid profile control are protective factors.
objectiveTo determine the relationship among clinical, behavioral, and socioeconomic factors and CVR in adolescents with CHD.
methodsCross-sectional study with 75 adolescents, aged 10 to 18 years old, attending a reference outpatient service in Alagoas, Brazil. The Physical Activity Questionnaire for Children, Questionnaire for Screen Time of Adolescents, lipid and glycemic profile and Pathobiological Determinants of Atherosclerosis in Youth score were used. Associations were tested by chi-square for categorical variables and Student's t-test for continuous variables. Multivariate binary logistic regression was used by the backward non-conditional method, adjusted for significant confounding factors (p < 0.20).
resultsA total of 75 adolescents were recruited, 62.6% showed low CVR, 82.7% exhibited excessive sedentary behavior and 90.7% were physically inactive, both associated with lipid alterations. Females had a lower odds ratio (OR) of 0.32 (95% CI = 0.11; 0.91) for higher CVR, while high complexity of CHD had an OR of 4.38 (95% CI = 1.02; 18.69) for high LDL-c levels. Adolescents with lower income had an OR of 3.29 (95% CI = 1.20; 9.08) for low HDL-c levels.
conclusionAdolescents with CHD have a high sedentary lifestyle, low levels of physical activity and clinical and socioeconomic factors that increase cardiovascular risk.
