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.

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.

Background: This study aimed to assess parental perceptions of quality of life in children aged 5-18 with simple and complex forms of repaired tetralogy of Fallot and its determinants, using an original survey including the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory 4.0 (PedsQL 4.0) questionnaire. Methods and Results: Data were gathered through an original online survey of repaired tetralogy of Fallot patients at a reference center for congenital heart disease. The survey, conducted between March and July 2023, included the PedsQL 4.0 (parental version), inquiries on extracurricular sports participation, sleep patterns, distance from the hospital, and social assessment.
