Bioreactance-derived haemodynamic parameters in the transitional phase in preterm neonates: a longitudinal study.
Observational study in Journal of clinical monitoring and computing, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Bioreactance (BR) is a novel, non-invasive technology that is able to provide minute-to-minute monitoring of cardiac output and additional haemodynamic variables. This study aimed to determine the values for BR-derived haemodynamic variables in stable preterm neonates during the transitional period. A prospective observational study was performed in a group of stable preterm (< 37 weeks) infants in the neonatal service of Tygerberg Children's Hospital, Cape Town, South Africa. All infants underwent continuous bioreactance (BR) monitoring until 72 h of life. Sixty three preterm infants with a mean gestational age of 31 weeks and mean birth weight of 1563 g were enrolled. Summary data and time series graphs were drawn for BR-derived heart rate, non-invasive blood pressure, stroke volume, cardiac output and total peripheral resistance index. All haemodynamic parameters were significantly associated with postnatal age, after correction for clinical variables (gestational age, birth weight, respiratory support mode). To our knowledge, this is the first paper to present longitudinal BR-derived haemodynamic variable data in a cohort of stable preterm infants, not requiring invasive ventilation or inotropic support, during the first 72 h of life. Bioreactance-derived haemodynamic monitoring is non-invasive and offers the ability to simultaneously monitor numerous haemodynamic parameters of global systemic blood flow. Moreover, it may provide insight into transitional physiology and its pathophysiology.
