Perfusion index and left ventricular output correlation in healthy term infants.
Observational study in European journal of pediatrics, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 16 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
Perfusion index (PI) is a non-invasive marker of peripheral perfusion which is detected by an oximeter. We aimed to assess the correlation between PI and left ventricular output (LVO) in healthy term infants at the time of the screening for congenital heart disease (CHD). PI was measured at 48±2 h of life in the infant's right hand (PIrh) and in one foot (PIf) contemporary to SpO
conclusionPI is significantly correlated with LVO in healthy term infants. These results support the theoretical potential role of PI in the CHD screening. What is Known: • Perfusion index is an indirect measure of perfusion which depends on cardiac output and peripheral vascular resistance whose normal values have been documented in term and preterm infants in the first days of life. • Perfusion index has been proposed for the screening of congenital heart disease with duct-dependent systemic circulation in term infants. What is New: • Perfusion index shows a significant correlation with the left ventricular output in term infants at the moment of the screening for congenital heart disease. • Perfusion index might have a theoretical role in improving the accuracy of pulse oximetry in the screening of CHD associated to low systemic flow.
