Targeted management of evolving and established chronic lung disease of prematurity assisted by cardiopulmonary ultrasound: A case report of four patients.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is one of the most common complications of premature birth. The current definition of BPD is based on the duration of oxygen therapy and/or respiratory support. Among the pitfalls of all the diagnostic definitions, the lack of a proper pathophysiologic classification makes it difficult to choose an appropriate drug strategy for BPD. In this case report, we describe the clinical course of four premature infants, admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit, for whom the use of lung and cardiac ultrasound was an integral part of the diagnostic and therapeutic process. We describe, for the first time to our knowledge, four different cardiopulmonary ultrasound patterns of evolving and established chronic lung disease of prematurity and the consequent therapeutic choices. This approach, if confirmed in prospective studies, may guide the personalized management of infants suffering from evolving and established BPD, optimizing the chances of success of the therapies and at the same time reducing the risk of exposure to inadequate and potentially harmful drugs.
