Observational study in BMC pediatrics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04295395 (Evaluation of the Brain and Renal Regional Oxygenation Using Near Infrared Spectroscopy), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract

backgroundPatent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is common among preterm neonates. Haemodynamically significant ductus arteriosus (hsPDA) can cause ductal steal and contribute to poor outcomes. Our aim was to evaluate ductus arteriosus patency and significance using two-site near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) measurements in preterm infants older than 72 h as a supplemental tool to echocardiography.

methodsIn this prospective observational study, 123 preterm infants (gestational age (GA) < 32 weeks, birth weight < 1500 g) were enrolled. Sixty-four newborns had closed ductus arteriosus (noPDA), and 41 and 18 patients were assigned to the PDA and hsPDA groups, respectively, per predefined echocardiographic criteria. Cerebral and renal oxygenation were assessed during NIRS monitoring.

resultsA higher renal mean (±SD) regional tissue oxygen saturation (rSpO

conclusionsOur results suggest that renal oxygenation is affected by ductus patency in preterm infants older than 72 h. Significant differences in cerebral oxygenation were observed between the hsPDA group and the PDA and noPDA groups.
