Physiology-guided vasoactive therapy in neonates: rethinking dopamine as first-line.
Review in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Dopamine has been widely used as a first-line cardiovascular agent in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) for the management of hypotension and circulatory support. While its effectiveness in increasing blood pressure is established, its potential effects on pulmonary vascular resistance, myocardial function, and overall hemodynamics require further consideration. This review explores the role of dopamine in neonatal hemodynamic management and considers alternative vasoactive agents tailored to specific pathophysiological conditions. A more individualized, physiology-based approach to cardiovascular support in neonates may help optimize treatment strategies.
