Transitional haemodynamic profiles of intrauterine growth-restricted preterm infants: correlation with antenatal Doppler characteristics.
Article in Pediatric research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
BACKGROUND AND
aimIntrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) with fetal Doppler abnormalities can lead to persistent haemodynamic adaptations. We aimed to investigate the association between antenatal Doppler characteristics and transitional haemodynamic profiles in IUGR preterm infants.
methodsInfants <1500 g were enrolled in this prospective cohort study. Over the first 72 h of life, stroke volume (SV), cardiac output (CO), cardiac contractility (ICON), heart rate, systemic vascular resistance (SVR), perfusion index (PI), peripheral oxygen saturation, cerebrovascular reactivity, cerebral oxygenation and oxygen extraction were monitored combining near-infrared spectroscopy, pulse-oximetry and electrical velocimetry. Using multivariate linear models, these parameters were compared between neonates with normal antenatal Doppler and abnormal umbilical Doppler without brain-sparing (UAbs-), with brain-sparing (UAbs+) or with abnormal ductus venosus flow (UA+DV).
resultsNinety-two neonates (9 UAbs-, 12 UAbs+ , 6 UA+DV, 65 controls) were included. Compared to controls, UAbs+ had higher CO (p = 0.036), ICON (p < 0.001) and SVR (p = 0.012), whereas UA+DV showed lower SV (p = 0.038), CO (p = 0.018), PI (p = 0.006) and the highest SVR increase (p < 0.001). Impaired cerebrovascular reactivity was observed in UAbs+ (p < 0.001) and UA+DV neonates (p < 0.001).
conclusionsAntenatal Doppler abnormalities are associated with distinct transitional cardiovascular and cerebrovascular profiles in IUGR infants, with potential clinical implications. IMPACT: This study describes the association between specific antenatal Doppler abnormalities and distinct postnatal cardiovascular and cerebrovascular profiles in IUGR preterm infants. Knowledge of this association may aid to identify IUGR neonates at higher risk for complications and to develop individualised therapeutic approaches based on antenatal Doppler characteristics. Available literature investigating postnatal haemodynamics in IUGR infants is based on intrauterine growth or ponderal criteria that may underestimate the prevalence of fetal Doppler abnormalities and their hemodynamic consequences. This study provides a comprehensive haemodynamic overview across multiple districts, supporting the feasibility of non-invasive multimodal monitoring for neonatal hemodynamic assessment.
