"Like everybody else": Adolescent perceptions of safe, independent driving with a CHD.
Article in Cardiology in the young, 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
objectiveThe impact of CHD on safe driving for adolescents is currently unknown. A prospective, qualitative descriptive study was conducted among adolescents with CHD to describe perceived barriers, facilitators, and impacts of CHD on safe, independent driving among adolescents. STUDY
designTwenty-eight adolescents aged 15-19 years with CHD participated in virtual, semi-structured interviews in 2023. Adolescent interview data were analysed with conventional content analysis refined by Theoretical Domains Framework in NVivo software.
resultsMean participant age was 16.4 ± 0.23 years (57% male). Single ventricle physiology (25%) and septal defects (32%) were prevalent diagnoses among the study population. Most participants (92%) did not have driving restrictions. TWO THEMES EMERGED FROM THE DATA: Driving as a normal rite of passage for adolescents with CHD; and confident-but curious-about the impacts of CHD on driving. Adolescents felt confident that driving is not impacted by CHD. They were curious about the likelihood of cardiovascular emergencies and related symptoms while driving. Perceived barriers and facilitators to safe, independent driving were like what has been described in published literature among adolescents without CHD.
conclusionThese findings celebrate the normalcy of driving during adolescence and reveal curiosities about the impacts of stress, anxiety, fatigue, and risks of heart attack and stroke on driving. Adolescents may look to CHD healthcare providers to help them learn about driving. These findings may inform the development of tools to facilitate meaningful conversations with adolescents regarding driving safety as part of the transition to adult CHD care.
