Echocardiographic prediction of severe pulmonary hypertension in neonates undergoing therapeutic hypothermia for hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectiveAmong neonates undergoing whole body cooling for hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), to compare ventricular function in the presence and absence of pulmonary hypertension (PPHN) needing inhaled nitric oxide (iNO)/ECMO.
designThis retrospective study included infants with HIE who underwent cooling. ECHO (<24 h age) measures, RV fractional area change (FAC), RV Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), myocardial performance indices (MPI), and the RV systolic to diastolic duration (S/D) ratio were evaluated.
resultsThe iNO/ECMO group (n = 26) had lower TAPSE and RV FAC and higher RV MPI and S/D, compared with controls (n = 39). Area under the curve was highest for RV S/D, with fair sensitivity (95% CI) [76.9 (56.3-91%)] and negative predictive value [78.6 (63.3-88.6%)] for subsequent iNO/ECMO at cutoff >1.45.
conclusionsInfants with HIE undergoing cooling who progressed to iNO/ECMO for PPHN had RV dysfunction on early ECHO; S/D had the best predictive performance. RV S/D may be a useful early marker of PPHN in HIE.
