Normal Value of Perfusion Index in Healthy Neonates Born in Iran.
Article in Archives of Iranian medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundPerfusion index is a dependable indicator for assessing the perfusion status of newborns. A low perfusion index indicates compromised hemodynamic function. The study aims to investigate perfusion index in asymptomatic newborns aged 35 to 41 weeks who did not require medical support.
methodsHealthy neonates born in four major maternity hospitals of Tehran University from 2019 to 2021 were selected. To ensure consistency and reliability in data collection, a detailed manual was developed and distributed, along with comprehensive training sessions for all personnel involved.
resultsA total of 994 newborns entered the study. Among them, echocardiography was adversely affected in 218 neonates due to abnormal screening pulse oximetry. Of these 218 neonates, 53 were found to have abnormal echocardiography results. The median perfusion index value in healthy neonates was 1.6%, and the median oxygen saturation was 97%. A percentile perfusion index curve was developed for healthy neonates to establish a normal reference range.
conclusionDeveloping a percentile perfusion index curve specific to healthy neonates provides a useful reference range for healthcare providers to assess perfusion status in this population, but further research is needed to confirm its accuracy.
