Universal practice based management of patent ductus arteriosus in premature neonates in 2025: BRONX PDA protocol and BRONX clinical scoring system (BCSS).

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
backgroundManagement of hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus (hsPDA) in neonates remains controversial, with wide variation in practice among neonatologists and pediatric cardiologists.
methodsAn IRB-approved anonymous 12-item survey assessing hsPDA screening, treatment preferences, and perceived risks and benefits was distributed to over 5,000 U.S. providers. Responses were statistically analyzed using standard parameters.
resultsA total of 462 completed surveys were analyzed (35% cardiologists, 64% neonatologists). Most providers-initiated PDA screening based on clinical condition. Medical therapy was the preferred first-line treatment. Nearly one-third favored conservative management when echocardiographic hsPDA was present with minimal clinical concern, while others delayed intervention beyond the neonatal period. Pediatric cardiologists were more likely than neonatologists to believe PDA closure reduces morbidity and mortality, although most providers still elected to treat hsPDA. Neonatologists favored medical and percutaneous approaches over surgery.
conclusionSignificant inter-specialty variation persists in hsPDA management, highlighting the need for standardized, clinically integrated approaches.
