Hemodynamic disturbances associated with endovascular embolization in newborn infants with vein of Galen malformation.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 examine hemodynamic changes following endovascular embolization in newborn infants with vein of Galen malformation and severe cardiac failure in the first week of life. STUDY
designOver a recent 5-year period, nine such infants were identified. In seven of these infants, changes in arterial blood pressure were analyzed in relation to the timing of embolization procedures.
resultsA significant increase in arterial blood pressure was noted after most embolizations. In two infants, this systemic hypertension was severe and treated using intravenous antihypertensive drugs. Both infants subsequently developed complete infarction of both cerebral hemispheres with sparing of the brainstem and cerebellum. Mortality in the nine infants was 33%, and 83% of the survivors were neurologically normal or near normal at follow-up.
conclusionThe systemic hypertension observed following endovascular embolizations may provide a protective mechanism to maintain cerebral blood flow after reperfusion injury. Lowering blood pressure in this situation may therefore be detrimental.
