Echocardiographic assessment of early circulatory status in preterm infants with suspected intrauterine infection.
Article in Archives of disease in childhood. Fetal and neonatal edition, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
objectiveTo assess early circulatory status in very low birthweight (VLBW) infants with suspected intrauterine infections. PATIENTS: Thirteen VLBW infants who were diagnosed with prenatal infections because of raised serum IgM at birth (infectious group), and 39 infants matched for gestational age and birth weight (control group).
methodsEchocardiographic assessments were performed consecutively from birth to day 28 in all VLBW infants. Left ventricular output (LVO) and left ventricular stroke volume (LVSV) were measured using Doppler echocardiography. Pulsed Doppler assessment of pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) was performed using the corrected ratio of the pulmonary artery acceleration time to the right ventricular ejection time (AT/RVET(c)). Blood flow in the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) was also evaluated by Doppler ultrasound.
resultsMean LVO and LVSV were both significantly higher in the infectious group than in the control group at 12 hours (LVO; 188 v 154 ml/kg/min) and 72 hours (LVO; 216 v 173 ml/kg/min) of life. Pulsed Doppler assessment of PAP showed that mean AT/RVET(c) values were significantly lower in the infectious group than in the control group at 48 hours, 96 hours, day 14, and day 28. In the analysis of SMA flow velocities, both peak systolic velocities and time averaged velocities had decreased significantly in the infectious group compared with the control group at 24 hours, 36 hours, 96 hours, and day 28.
conclusionsVLBW infants with suspected prenatal infection showed a unique circulation status, namely high cardiac output, latency of high PAP, and low organ flow.
