Postoperative S100B protein levels as a measure for predicting neurological deficit in children undergoing cardiac surgery.
Article in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 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
Brain injury following congenital heart surgery is associated with long-term neurodevelopmental deficits. Early identification of such injury may guide timely neuroprotective interventions. The calcium-binding protein S100B has been established in retrospective studies to be associated with poor neurological outcomes after surgery. These findings suggest that S100B may serve as a biomarker of central nervous system injury. Our study prospectively investigates the predictive value of S100B as a marker for new neurological deficits (NND) in infants undergoing cardiac surgery. In a prospective cohort of 130 infants undergoing congenital heart surgery, S100B was sampled before (
