Echocardiographic Inferior Vena Cava Measurement As An Alternative to Central Venous Pressure Measurement in Neonates.
Article in Indian journal of pediatrics, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
objectivesTo evaluate the correlation between echocardiographic inferior vena cava (IVC) measurements and central venous pressure (CVP) in neonates. Also, to evaluate the correlation between IVC measurements and gestational age (GA) and body weight (BW).
methodsThis cross sectional analytical study was conducted from June 2014 through June 2016 in a level III NICU. All neonates requiring intensive hemodynamic monitoring and having umbilical venous catheter (UVC) in place for clinical indications were enrolled in the study. IVC measurements were recorded by echocardiography (ECHO) and CVP was measured concomitantly in neonates having appropriate sized UVC in place. IVC measurements were evaluated and compared for any correlation with the CVP, GA and BW.
resultsFifty neonates with median gestation of 37 wk [Q1 = 29.2, Q3 = 37.8, interquartile range (IQR) = 8.6 wk] and median birth weight of 2420 g (Q1 = 923.5, Q3 = 2850, IQR = 1926.5 g) were included in the study. A strong negative linear correlation was observed between IVC collapsibility index (IVC-CI) and CVP (r = -0.968, r
conclusionsEchocardiographic IVC-CI measurement has a good correlation with CVP measurement in neonates. The clinical use will depend on the ability of IVC-CI to predict surrogate markers of tissue perfusion in shock.
