Spontaneous prenatal ductal closure: postnatal diagnosis?
Article in Pediatric cardiology, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Prenatal ductal constriction and closure usually are related to maternal intake of prostaglandin receptor inhibitors during late gestation but may occur spontaneously. This report describes three live-born infants sharing echocardiographic features of spontaneous intrauterine ductal constriction, closure, or both, although only one had a prenatal diagnosis. Interestingly, in addition to severely hypertrophied right ventricles, all three had hyperechogenic tricuspid valve papillary muscles. Two also had mild ascending aorta dilation. These cases raise mechanistic questions because of intrauterine ductal occlusion, bright papillary muscles, and potential dilated ascending aortas.
