Critical congenital heart disease in extreme prematurity: Surgical outcomes from a specialized neonatal cardiac intensive care unit.
Article in JTCVS open, 2025. 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
Objectives: Prematurity is a risk factor for in-hospital mortality after cardiac surgery. Among preterm infants, very preterm (VPT) infants are at the greatest risk of mortality. We evaluated risk factors for in-hospital mortality in VPT infants born at <34 weeks of gestational age with critical congenital heart disease (CHD) who underwent cardiac surgery at our institution. Methods: This study is a single-center, retrospective review of VPT infants who underwent cardiac surgical intervention from our dedicated neonatal cardiac care program (Columbia model) between 2006 and 2021. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. Results: A total of 109 subjects met the inclusion criteria. Overall, the in-hospital mortality rate for VPT infants was 16.5% overall, 11% in those with isolated critical CHD, and 34% in those with an identified genetic diagnosis ( Conclusions: The Columbia model with its dedicated neonatal cardiac program shows a lower mortality rate in VPT infants compared to the literature. Initiatives that reduce the burden of modifiable risk factors, such as the number of complications, may improve survival in this population. Video Abstract:
