The prediction of estimated cerebral perfusion pressure with trans-systolic time in preterm and term infants.
Article in European journal of pediatrics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
It is important to monitor cerebral perfusion in infants because hypo- and hyperperfusion can contribute to neurological injury. This study aimed to clarify the relationship between trans-systolic time (TST) and critical closing pressure (CrCP) or estimated cerebral perfusion pressure (CPPe) in neonates. Moreover, we aimed to determine the TST values in preterm and term infants with stable cerebral perfusion to clarify normative reference data. This multicentre prospective study included infants with arterial lines admitted to the neonatal intensive care units between December 2021 and August 2023. TST, CrCP, and CPPe were calculated using middle cerebral artery waveforms recorded using transcranial Doppler ultrasonography when clinicians collected arterial blood samples. Three hundred and sixty samples were obtained from 112 infants with a gestational age of 32 (interquartile range, 27-37) weeks and a birth weight of 1481 (956-2355) g. TST was positively correlated with CPPe (r = 0.60, p < 0.001), but not with CrCP (r = 0.08, p = 0.10). The normative reference values of TST in preterm and term infants without samples of hyper- or hypocapnia and/or hyper- or hypotension, which may affect cerebral perfusion, were as follows: ≤ 29 weeks, 0.12 (0.11-0.14) s; 30-36 weeks, 0.14 (0.12-0.15) s; and ≥ 37 weeks, 0.16 (0.14-0.17) s, respectively. Conclusion: TST in neonates significantly correlated with CPPe, but not with CrCP. TST may be a good predictor of cerebral perfusion and potentially have wider clinical applications. What is Known: • Trans-systolic time (TST) is used in evaluating the effects of increased intracranial pressure on cerebral haemodynamics. However, little is known about the efficacy of TST in predicting neonatal cerebral perfusion pressure. What is New: • This study added evidence that TST correlated with estimated cerebral perfusion pressure, but not with critical closing pressure. Additionally, we showed the normative reference values of the TST in preterm and term infants.
