Blood pressure in preterm infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia in the first three months of life.

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
backgroundNeonatal hypertension is common in preterm infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Our study aimed to examine blood pressure variation in the first three months of life in preterm BPD patients.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective, single-centre study at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of the University of Szeged, Hungary. We collected blood pressure data from 26 preterm infants (born at < 30 weeks gestation) with moderate or severe BPD over three years (2019-2021). We calculated the BPD group's daily average blood pressure values and used previously defined normal blood pressure values from a preterm patient group born at < 30 weeks gestation as a reference. We used 19,481 systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressure measurement data separately to calculate daily average blood pressures.
resultsWe found a statistically significant correlation between the blood pressure values of the BPD patient group and the reference data. The difference between the blood pressure curve of the group with BPD and that of the reference group was also statistically significant. We also analysed individual patients' daily average blood pressure values and found that 11 patients (42%) had hypertensive blood pressure values for three or more days within the first 90 days of life. Within this group, our statistical analysis showed a 25% chance of acute kidney injury.
conclusionThe blood pressure of the BPD group not only correlated with but also significantly differed from the reference data. Hypertension lasting three or more days occurred more frequently in patients with acute kidney injury accompanied by BPD.
