Radiographic thoracic area in newborn infants with Down's syndrome.
Article in Journal of perinatal medicine, 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
objectivesInfants with Down's syndrome (DS) can suffer from lung hypoplasia. Our aim was to determine if the chest radiographic thoracic area (CRTA) on day one of life differed between infants with DS compared to term controls without respiratory disease and whether in infants with DS, the CRTA was related to a longer duration of ventilation and supplemental oxygen therapy.
methodsA review of infants with DS born between 2012 and 2023 at King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, London, UK was conducted. The control group consisted of term, newborn infants matched for birth weight and ventilated for poor respiratory drive at birth. Chest radiographs on day one were analysed and the highest CRTA for each infant was included in the analysis.
resultsThe 40 infants with DS (18 male) had significantly lower median (IQR) CRTA [1,922 (1,571-2,261) mm
conclusionsNewborn infants with Down's syndrome had lower chest radiographic thoracic area compared to healthy term controls, but this finding was not associated with clinical indices of lung disease severity.
