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
Background: This study aimed to ascertain socioeconomic factors affecting successful transfer to adult congenital cardiology and cardiac surgical services in Ontario. Methods: Patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) referred from a pediatric CHD program to an adult CHD (ACHD) center between January 1, 2004, and December 31, 2015, were identified. The prevalence of (1) failed transfer (FT), (2) lost to follow-up (LTFU), and (3) cardiac surgery (CS) during the extended study period of 2004-2018 was investigated. Socioeconomic variables associated with FT, LTFU, and CS were explored using Environics data associated with postal code at the time of transfer. Results: A total of 2196 patients were referred from the pediatric to ACHD center between 2004 and 2015. Within this cohort, 11% had FT and 25% had LTFU; there was a 2% overlap between the FT and LTFU groups. A total of 106 patients (4.8%) underwent CS. Age at referral (odds ratio [OR]: 0.591, Conclusions: Socioeconomic factors are associated with access to specialized ACHD services among young adults. Strategies to ensure equity in care should be explored.
