[Establishing reference ranges for right ventricular functional parameters on neonatal echocardiography: a multicenter, prospective observational study].

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
objectivesTo establish reference ranges for right ventricular functional parameters at defined postnatal time points in neonates, thereby providing a basis for precise hemodynamic assessment and clinical management of critically ill neonates.
methodsIn a prospective multicenter observational study, clinical and echocardiographic data were collected from 406 term neonates who were admitted to neonatal departments or seen in outpatient clinics of three centers (Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, Yinchuan First People's Hospital, and Inner Mongolia Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital) between June 2023 and May 2024. Bedside echocardiography was used to measure right ventricular functional parameters. Spearman rank correlation was applied to assess associations between each parameter and sex, birth weight, gestational age, and postnatal age. Reference ranges were constructed using the 95% confidence interval approach for postnatal days 1, 3, 7, 14, and 28, with stratification by gestational age and birth weight.
resultsAmong the right ventricular functional parameters, right ventricular fractional area change (RV-FAC), tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), and tricuspid annular peak systolic velocity were positively correlated with gestational age and birth weight (all
conclusionsMultiple parameters of neonatal right ventricular systolic and diastolic function are associated with postnatal age, gestational age, and birth weight. The comprehensive, stratified reference ranges for right ventricular functional parameters established in this study may serve as an important reference for refined hemodynamic assessment and management in critically ill neonates.
