Echocardiographic parameters predicting spontaneous closure of ductus arteriosus in preterm infants.
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 2 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
Objective: To evaluate the value of echocardiographic parameters in predicting early spontaneous closure of ductus arteriosus in premature infants. Methods: 222 premature infants admitted to the neonatal ward of our hospital were selected, and patent ductus arteriosus was detected by echocardiography 48 h after birth. On the 7th day, whether the ductus arteriosus was closed naturally in this cohort was observed. The infants whose ductus arteriosus were not closed were identified as the PDA group ( Results: The ductus arteriosus shunt velocity and the pressure difference between the descending aorta and the pulmonary artery (ΔPs) in the PDA group were lower than those in the control group ( Conclusion: Echocardiographic parameters are of great value in predicting the early spontaneous closure of ductus arteriosus in premature infants. In particular, the ductus arteriosus shunt velocity is correlated with the early spontaneous closure of ductus arteriosus.
