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

Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a common cardiovascular complication that complicates clinical care in the intensive care of premature infants. Prenatal and postnatal infections and the inflammation process can contribute to PDA, and intrauterine inflammation is a known risk factor of PDA. A variety of inflammatory biomarkers have been reported to be associated with PDA. Chorioamnionitis induces the fetal inflammatory process via several cytokines that have been reported to be associated with the presence of PDA and may have a role in the vascular remodeling process or vessel dilation of the ductus. On the other hand, anti-inflammatory agents, such as antenatal steroids, decrease PDA incidence and severity in patients born to those with chorioamnionitis. Proinflammatory cytokines, which are expressed more significantly in preterm neonates and chorioamnionitis, are associated with the presence of PDA. In this review, we focus on the pathogenesis of PDA in preterm infants and the role of biomarkers associated with the perinatal inflammatory process.
