Left ventricular dysfunction postsurgical patent ductus arteriosus ligation in children: predictor factors analysis.
Observational study in Journal of cardiothoracic surgery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04018079 (Left Ventricular Dysfunction Post Surgical Patent Ductus Arteriosus Ligation in Children), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
objectiveTo identify the predictor factors of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction following patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) surgical ligation.
backgroundPDA is viewed as a noticeable amongst the most widely recognized congenital heart defects in children and its closure is responsible for many hemodynamic changes that require intervention and care.
methodsA retrospective study included fifty children with isolated PDA treated by surgical ligation from June 2015 to June 2018. The LV dimensions and systolic function were assessed by two-dimensional echocardiography pre and post PDA ligation. All cases were followed-up on the first-day, 1 month and 6 months post ligation.
resultsThe mean age of cases was 15.78 ± 7.58 months and 72% were females. The mean duct size was 4.08 ± 1.25 mm. There was a marked decrease in LVEDd, LA/Ao, EF and FS in the first-day post ligation contrasted with pre ligation values. Moreover, an amazing decline in LVEDd and LA/Ao ratio was observed 1 month post ligation contrasted with the early post ligation status with asynchronous improvement of FS and EF at one and 6 months postoperatively.
conclusionPDA ligation is associated with a noteworthy LV systolic dysfunction within the first day post ligation; that in a significant number of patients may require anti-failure measures, prolong the hospital stay and necessitate a regular follow up and monitoring of LV function. PDA size, age, preoperative LVEDd and FS can be considered as predictor factors for suspicion of acute decrease in the LV systolic function early post PDA ligation.
