Serial echocardiography in preterm infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia: diagnosing and managing recurrent pulmonary vein stenosis.

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
Objectives: To highlight the importance of serial echocardiography in preterm infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) to diagnose recurrent pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) and understand its contribution to respiratory deteriorations. Case presentation: A preterm female infant born at 23+5 weeks gestation had numerous complications related to extreme prematurity, including BPD. She was diagnosed with PVS on echocardiogram after experiencing recurrent respiratory deteriorations and pulmonary hypertensive crises. Initial management involved transcutaneous balloon dilatation. A serial echocardiographic programme was implemented, with weekly monitoring of PVS. She suffered multiple respiratory deteriorations secondary to recurrence of PVS, necessitating repeat cardiac catheterisations and transcatheter stenting. Systemic macrolide therapy with sirolimus was used as adjunctive therapy. Conclusions: Extremely prematurely born infants who develop BPD are at higher risk of recurrent PVS. We demonstrate that serial echocardiographic monitoring facilitates early diagnosis and prompt intervention of PVS. Any respiratory deterioration in such infants should be assessed by an echocardiogram.
