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

purposeTo quantitatively estimate the influence of ductal shunt on cerebral blood flow and establish a new index of ultrasonography for estimating cerebral circulation without the influence of ductal shunt in newborn infants.

methodsWe retrospectively examined the records of anterior cerebral artery (ACA) and left pulmonary artery (LPA) blood flow velocity curves recorded by pulsed Doppler ultrasonography within 6 h after birth in 123 newborn infants without asphyxia (normal group) and in 31 newborn infants with asphyxia (asphyxia group).

resultsIn the normal group, the resistance index (RI) of the ACA showed a positive correlation with the ratio of LPA diastolic-to-systolic flow velocities (LPAD/LPAS) (P < 0.001, r = 0.58), and the estimated RI (eRI) of the ACA was calculated using the following formula: Y = 0.47X + 0.67 (Y estimated RI; X LPAD/LPAS). In the asphyxia group, the RI of the ACA showed a weak correlation to base excess (BE) (P < 0.05, r = 0.46). The eRI of the ACA was calculated by the LPAD/PLAS in the asphyxia group, and the difference between the RI and eRI showed a better correlation to BE than RI (P < 0.001, r = 0.64).

conclusionWe determined the relation between cerebral blood flow RI and ductal shunt, and (RI - eRI) may be a new useful ultrasonographic index indicating cerebral circulation without the influence of ductal shunt in newborn infants.
