Lung water, aeration and function in late preterm/term neonates: subgroup analysis of the ULTRAS study.
Article in Pediatric research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundWe aimed to study the pathophysiology of late preterm and term neonates with respiratory failure, without lung inflammation, and identify features associated with surfactant treatment.
methodsAncillary subgroup analysis of a prospective multicenter cohort study. Forty-eight neonates were enrolled. Extravascular lung water (estimated as thoracic fluid content (TFC)), lung ultrasound score (LUS) and extended LUS (eLUS), transcutaneous partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PtcCO
resultsTFC was similar between neonates treated (13.2 [10.7-16.6] KOhm
conclusionsLate preterm and term neonates with respiratory failure treated with surfactant show decreased lung aeration associated with impaired oxygenation likely due to surfactant insufficiency rather than excessive extra-vascular lung water. IMPACT: Late preterm and term neonates receiving surfactant show decreased lung aeration and impaired oxygenation, likely due to surfactant insufficiency, rather than to excessive extra-vascular lung water. This helps characterising respiratory failure in late preterm and term neonates and identifying those who are at risk of surfactant insufficiency and need closer monitoring.
