Accuracy of non-invasive measurement of cardiac output using electrical cardiometry in preterm infants during the transitional period: A comparison with transthoracic Doppler echocardiography.
Observational study in European journal of pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
This prospective observational study aimed to assess the agreement of cardiac output measurements obtained with transthoracic echocardiography (CO
conclusionAlthough a slight overestimation may occur during inotropic treatments and in the presence of a hsPDA, this study shows an acceptable accuracy and precision of CO WHAT IS KNOWN: • Electrical velocimetry allows a continuous and non-invasive monitoring of cardiac output (CO) in the neonatal population. • Available data comparing the accuracy of electrical velocimetry against transthoracic echocardiography for CO assessment in preterm infants are still controversial. WHAT IS NEW: • The present data report a satisfactory accuracy of electrical velocimetry for CO assessment, with low bias and mean percentage error when compared to echocardiographic CO measurements. • Inotropic treatment with dobutamine and a hemodynamically significant duct may be associated with a slight but significant overestimation of CO measurements by electrical velocimetry.
