Pulmonary Hypoplasia Resulting from Pulmonary Artery Banding in Infancy: A Neonatal Rat Model Study.
Article in Pediatric cardiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The aim of this study was to establish a neonatal rat model of decreased pulmonary blood flow (PBF) for studying pulmonary pathophysiological changes in newborn lung development with reduced PBF. Horizontal thoracotomy surgery with banding of the main pulmonary artery (PA) was performed on 30 rats in the PA banding (PAB) group and without banding on another 30 rats in the sham group within 6 h after birth. The body growth and mortality were recorded. Constriction of PA was checked by echocardiography on postnatal day 7 (P7). Lung morphology was assessed with computed tomography scanning and three-dimensional reconstruction. Histological differences of two groups were evaluated using hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, Masson's trichrome staining, TdT-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling assay, and CD31 labeling with microscopic examination. PA ultrasound confirmed the establishment of constriction on P7. Relative to the sham group, the neonates' physical growth, survival fraction, and lung geometry volume were decreased in the PAB group over time (p < 0.05). Histologic appearance with reduced PBF characterized a markedly simplified alveolarization with noted lower radial alveolar count and alveolar septal thickness in the PAB group (p < 0.0001), pulmonary arteries with thinner/uneven membranous layers and smaller lumina. The deficient alveolar capillary bed, enhanced pulmonary collagen deposition, and increased apoptotic alveolar epithelium were significant in the PAB group compared to the sham group (p < 0.0001). A neonatal rat PAB model demonstrated that PBF reduction during early infancy impairs alveolarization and pulmonary microvasculature.
