Diaphragmatic ultrasound and patent ductus arteriosus in the newborn: A retrospective case series.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) and diaphragmatic dysfunction are frequently seen in newborn infants but their relationship remains unknown. We aimed to use point of care ultrasound to compare diaphragmatic kinetics in infants with a PDA compared to in those without a PDA. Methods: M-mode ultrasonography was used to measure the mean inspiratory velocity ( Results: Seventeen diaphragmatic ultrasound studies were reviewed from 14 infants with a median (IQR) gestational age of 26.1 (25.8-30.6) weeks, birth weight of 780 (660-1385) gr at a postnatal age of 18 (14-34) days. Eight scans had evidence of a PDA. The median (IQR) Conclusions: Patent ductus arteriosus was associated with a lower mean inspiratory velocity in neonates and this effect was independent of gestational age.
