Early echocardiographic prediction of ductal closure in neonates ≤ 30 weeks gestation.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2013. 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
objectiveTo determine the accuracy of the patent ductus arteriosus:left pulmonary artery ratio (PDA:LPA) on echocardiogram (ECHO) at 3-day postnatal in predicting spontaneous PDA closure in neonates ≤ 30 weeks gestational age (GA). STUDY
designECHOs were performed at 72 h to characterize PDA size as closed-to-small (PDA:LPA <0.5) or moderate-to-large (PDA:LPA ≥ 0.5) and at 10 days to determine spontaneous closure (defined as closed-to-small in the absence of medical and/or surgical treatment). Caretakers were blinded to results; treatment was based on standard care. Neonates were prospectively enrolled and stratified: <27 weeks (n=31) and 27 to 30 weeks (n=65).
resultNeonates <27 weeks with closed-to-small PDAs had 60% spontaneous closure vs 9% when moderate-to-large (positive predictive value (PPV) 60%, negative predictive value (NPV) 91%). Neonates 27 to 30 weeks had 95% spontaneous closure vs 27%, respectively (PPV 95%, NPV 73%). Inter-observer variability for the initial ECHO was 0.84.
conclusionPDA size defined by PDA:LPA at 3 days postnatal in combination with GA predicts spontaneous PDA closure.
