1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 assessment of the wellbeing of the cardiovascular status in premature infants has come to the forefront in recent years. There is an increasing realisation that myocardial performance, systemic blood flow and end-organ perfusion (particularly during the transitional period) play an important role in determining short and long-term outcomes in this population. The recent open access series on Neonatologist Performed Echocardiography (NPE) published in this journal outline the necessary techniques for image acquisition and analysis and provide a framework for the potential clinical applications of NPE in neonatal, and specifically preterm care. In this "Future Perspectives" review, we describe the important determinants of adequate cellular metabolism and myocardial performance (e.g. loading conditions, intrinsic contractility and morphological change), we discuss the maladaptive state of the preterm cardiovascular system, and highlight the emerging role that non-invasive echocardiography techniques, such as deformation analysis, serve in identifying the underlying physiological basis for cardiovascular instability.
