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

Objectives: To study changes in heart function and hemodynamics during the transitional period in small for gestational (SGA) infants and appropriate (AGA) healthier counterparts. Design: A hospital based prospective observational study was performed at a perinatal center. Echocardiograms were performed on the first postnatal day and again at 48 h age. Term SGA infants were compared with those AGA newborns matched for the GA and mode of delivery. Results: Eighteen SGA infants were compared with 18 AGA infants [gestation 38 ± 1.5 vs. 38 ± 1.2 weeks, Conclusions: SGA infants had evidence of higher pulmonary vascular resistance, and lower RV performance during the postnatal transition. The relevance and impact of these changes to hemodynamic disease states during the postnatal transition requires prospective investigation.
