Beyond the Evidence: Psychological and Institutional Factors Shaping Patent Ductus Arteriosus Stent Adoption.
Review in Pediatric cardiology, 2026. 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
In infants with ductal dependent pulmonary blood flow (DDPBF), clinicians face a critical choice between two interventions to secure stable pulmonary circulation: the Blalock-Taussig-Thomas (BTT) shunt and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) stenting. While the BTT shunt has long been the standard palliative procedure, its risks have prompted interest in less invasive alternatives. This manuscript explores the psychological and institutional factors contributing to the growing preference for PDA stenting over surgical shunting in the management of DDPBF. Cognitive biases, public reporting of surgical outcomes, and family preferences significantly influence clinicians' procedural decisions. Understanding these influences is essential to align clinical decisions with evidence-based practices, ensuring optimal care for patients while maintaining transparency and equity in procedural evaluation.
