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

Hypoglycemia in neonates is associated with long-term neurodevelopmental effects. Hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia (HH) is the most common cause of persistent hypoglycemia in neonatal intensive care units. Diazoxide is the only medication that is currently recommended for treatment of HH in neonates. However, the use of diazoxide in neonates is associated with pulmonary hypertension as an adverse effect. In this article, we review the literature on the mechanism of action and adverse effects with the use of diazoxide in neonatal hyperinsulinism. We then present a case series of neonates treated with diazoxide in our neonatal intensive care unit over a 5-year period. Among 23 neonates who received diazoxide, 4 developed pulmonary hypertension and 1 died. All infants who developed pulmonary hypertension were born preterm at less than 36 weeks gestation and had pre-existing risk factors for pulmonary hypertension. HH in preterm neonates, with pre-existing pulmonary hypertension or with risk factors for pulmonary hypertension requires thoughtful management.
