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

Pediatric cardiac intensive care (PCIC) is now a well-recognized specialty in the well-resourced developed world, and its need and utilization in optimal delivery of care for congenital heart disease (CHD) especially congenital heart surgery (CHS) is well established. The delivery of CHD care in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) continues to face numerous challenges, not the least of which is the availability of resources to develop and maintain PCIC units and the pediatric intensivists to man them. This article explores the question as to whether reliable PCIC is feasible in LMICs and remains a necessity, or if it is dispensable. The article also looks at the current status and challenges of PCIC in resource-limited environs.
