Renal functional markers in extremely premature infants with and without twin-twin transfusion syndrome.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveDescribe renal function of preterm infants <29 weeks of gestational age (GA) with twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) who received laser therapy.
designRetrospective analysis of premature TTTS compared with dichorionic-diamniotic (di-di) twins from 2006 to 2015. Primary outcome was biomarkers of renal injury.
resultsThirty-three TTTS-laser and 101 di-di newborns with similar GA at birth (26.4 ± 1.4 vs 26.9 ± 1.6 weeks, p = 0.07) were included. Creatinine and urea levels were higher in TTTS-laser group at day of life (DOL) 2-7 (123.5 ± 12.4 vs 75.8 ± 2 μmol/L, p = 0.0001 and 11.9 ± 1.1 mmol/L vs 8.7 ± 0.3 mmol/L, p = 0.0001) and DOL 8-14, (98.1 ± 14.2 vs 64.8 ± 2.3 μmol/L, p = 0.0001 and 9.1 ± 1.2 vs 5.4 ± 0.3 mmol/L, p = 0.0001). There was a significant effect of TTTS status on creatinine level at DOL 8-14.
conclusionIn extremely preterm with TTTS treated by laser, biomarkers of renal function were higher compared with di-di twins in the first 2 weeks of life.
