Echocardiographic Evaluation of Transitional Circulation for the Neonatologists.
Review in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2018. 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 27 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
The hemodynamic changes during the first few breaths after birth are probably the most significant and drastic adaptation in the human life. These changes are critical for a smooth transition of fetal to neonatal circulation. With the cord clamping, lungs take over as the source of oxygenation from placenta. A smooth transition of circulation is a complex mechanism and primarily depends upon the drop in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) and increase in systemic vascular resistance (SVR). Understanding the normal transition physiology and the adverse adaptation is of utmost importance to the clinicians looking after neonates. It may have a significant influence on the presentation of congenital heart defects (CHDs) in infants. Bedside echocardiography may help in understanding the transition physiology, especially the hemodynamic changes and shunting across ductus arteriosus and foramen ovale, and it may play an important role in making judicious clinical decisions based upon the altered physiology.
