SCAI Position Statement on Transcatheter Occlusion of Patent Ductus Arteriosus in Premature Infants.
Article in Journal of the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions, 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
Historically, pharmacotherapy and surgical ligation have been the primary treatments for occlusion of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), but recent advancements have led to the US Food and Drug Administration approval of the first transcatheter PDA occlusion device for low birth weight infants in 2019. Although short-term outcomes have been encouraging, successful outcomes are highly dependent on proper patient selection, awareness of key procedural considerations, appropriately trained operators, and institutions meeting a standard of required infrastructural requirements. A multidisciplinary approach involving neonatologists and cardiologists is beneficial, as well as shared decision-making with the patient's family. This position statement from the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions provides comprehensive suggestions to optimize the safety and efficacy of transcatheter PDA occlusion in premature infants, aiming to improve long-term outcomes in this vulnerable population.
