Feasibility and Safety of Percutaneous Device Closure of Patent Ductus Arteriosus in Preterm Neonates: Experience From a Single Center in Northern India.
Article in Indian pediatrics, 2025. 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
objectiveTo report the feasibility and safety of percutaneous device closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in preterm neonates from a tertiary center in Northern India.
methodsA retrospective chart review of the clinical profile, nature of device used, and outcomes of inborn preterm neonates who underwent percutaneous device closure of PDA was conducted. The intervention was performed by experienced pediatric cardiologists using a transvenous approach under fluoroscopic guidance.
resultsTen neonates with median (Q1, Q3) gestation of 29 (27, 30) weeks underwent device (Piccolo device) closure at a median (Q1, Q3) age of 37 (27, 41) days. At the time of procedure, the median (Q1, Q3) weight of the infants was 1270 (1120, 1890) g and the median (Q1, Q3) PDA diameter was 3.0 (2.3, 3.0) mm. Successful PDA closure was achieved in nine neonates; six showed clinical improvement. No procedure-related death was observed.
conclusionsPercutaneous device closure of PDA in preterm neonates is safe and feasible.
