Morbidity and neurodevelopmental outcomes at 2 years in preterm infants undergoing percutaneous transcatheter closure vs. surgical ligation of the PDA.
Observational study in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
objectiveReview a cohort of preterm infants ≤29 weeks of gestation at birth and compare morbidities and neurodevelopmental outcomes based on PDA status and type of PDA closure. STUDY
designSingle center observational retrospective-prospective case control study of premature infants who had no hsPDA, underwent surgical ligation or percutaneous transcatheter closure of the PDA. Neurodevelopmental testing was done using the Bayley Scales of Infant Development 3rd ed.
resultsThe percutaneous transcatheter closure group had an older post menstrual age and greater weight at the time of procedure, and started enteral feeds and achieved room air status at an earlier post procedure day. Infants in the surgical ligation group were more likely to experience vocal cord paralysis. There was no difference in neurodevelopmental outcomes between groups.
conclusionWaiting for infants to achieve the appropriate size for percutaneous transcatheter closure of the PDA may lead to reduced short-term complications without increasing the risk of neurodevelopmental impairment.
