Variability of resistive indices in the anterior cerebral artery during fontanel compression in preterm and term neonates measured by transcranial duplex sonography.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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 normal range of resistive index (RI) variability in clinically/neurologically unremarkable preterm and term infants and to compare the hemodynamic response to transient elevation of intracranial pressure. STUDY
designWe measured RIs at baseline and following brief fontanel compression, assessing for differences in mean baseline and compression values and percent change.
resultOne hundred and twenty-nine subjects were included in the study. Mean baseline RI and normal range were 0.7 in preterm (0.54 to 0.86) and 0.66 in term infants (0.52 to 0.8; P=0.001). Mean RI during compression was 0.71 in preterm and 0.68 in term infants (P=0.015). Mean percent change between baseline and compression was 5.86% in preterm and 7.45% in term infants (P=0.092).
conclusionNo difference in the hemodynamic response to transient elevation of intracranial pressure between different gestational groups, suggesting no significant differences in autoregulatory response.
