1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Malnutrition significantly affects children with congenital heart disease (CHD). Severe underweight status may prolong postoperative recovery and increase complications after cardiac surgery. Identifying modifiable risk factors may help improve outcomes. Patients and Methods: Between January 2022 and December 2024, we included all children with a weight-for-age Results: A total of 170 children were included; 86 were severely underweight. Means WAZ and weight-for-height Conclusions: Severe underweight significantly increases postoperative morbidity after congenital heart surgery. Factors that elevate oxidative stress in this fragile population may further amplify surgical risk. Large-scale studies are essential to better identify and understand the contributing risk factors.
