Morphology of the patent arterial duct: features relevant to treatment.
Article in Images in paediatric cardiology, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), one of the most common congenital heart defects, is an abnormal persistence of a patent lumen in the arterial duct due to an arrest of the natural process of closure after it has served its function as a vital channel in fetal circulation. The histological feature of the arterial duct is entirely different from its adjoining arteries and many intrinsic substances mediate in the process of its normal closure. When existing in isolation, catheter or surgical intervention is usually used for its treatment. Ductal aneurysm is a rare type of PDA. The PDA associated with other congenital heart disease has variable morphology and closing it naturally or by intervention may produce critical symptoms. The PDA and its ligament which represents a closed arterial duct can be part of a vascular ring with abnormal aortic arch formation. It is important to understand the morphological features of PDA so as to choose the optimal strategy for treatment.
