Oscillometric arterial blood pressure in haemodynamically stable neonates in the first 2 weeks of life.
Article in Pediatric nephrology (Berlin, Germany), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundWe aimed to provide data on the normal blood pressure of haemodynamically stable neonates. Our study uses retrospective, real-life oscillometric blood pressure measurement values to determine the expected blood pressure in different gestational age, chronological age and birth weight groups. We also investigated the effect of antenatal steroid on neonatal blood pressure.
methodsOur retrospective study (2019-2021) was carried out in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of the University of Szeged, Hungary. We involved 629 haemodynamically stable patients and analysed 134,938 blood pressure values. Data were collected from electronic hospital records of IntelliSpace Critical Care Anesthesia by Phillips. We used the PDAnalyser program for data handling and the IBM SPSS program for statistical analysis.
resultsWe found a significant difference between the blood pressure of each gestational age group in the first 14 days of life. The systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressure rise are steeper in the preterm group than in the term group in the first 3 days of life. No significant blood pressure differences were found between the group with a complete antenatal steroid course and those who received incomplete steroid prophylaxis or did not receive antenatal steroids.
conclusionWe determined the average blood pressure of stable neonates and obtained normative data by percentiles. Our study provides additional data on how blood pressure varies with gestational age and birth weight. A higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available as Supplementary information.
