Systolic Ejection Murmur in a Case of Patent Ductus Arteriosus and Pulmonary Hypertension With Liver Cirrhosis.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a congenital anomaly characterized by a persistent connection between the descending aorta and the pulmonary artery. While patients with PDA typically present with a continuous murmur, atypical cases, such as those with systolic murmurs or no murmurs (although the exact mechanism remains unclear), pose diagnostic challenges. We report a case of a 38-year-old woman with alcoholic liver cirrhosis, referred for liver transplantation, in whom a systolic ejection murmur prompted further evaluation. Diagnostic imaging and right heart catheterization confirmed PDA with mild pulmonary hypertension, without evidence of Eisenmenger physiology. This case underscores the importance of recognizing atypical murmur patterns in the diagnosis of PDA to avoid misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis.
