1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveWe aimed to assess the frequency of de novo congenital heart disease (CHD) detection via neonatologist-performed cardiac ultrasounds (NPCU) in premature infants born at <30 weeks of gestation. STUDY

designIn this cross-sectional study (2004-2023) clinicians completing NPCU flagged de novo suspected CHD. All flagged NPCUs were cross-checked with cardiologists to confirm CHD diagnosis.

resultsThere were 2088 out of 3739 infants (56%) with at least one NPCU; 294 (14%) with cardiology referral. CHD diagnosis was confirmed in 109 of the 2088 (5.2%) infants. All major and critical CHD on NPCU imaging were suspected during NPCU and had prompt referral to the cardiology department.

conclusionDe novo presentation of significant CHD continues to occur in the preterm population, emphasizing the need for recognizing CHD during NPCU. Optimizing NPCU training may benefit patients with early cardiology referral and review.
