Pulmonary artery pressure: early predictor of chronic lung disease in preterm infants.
Article in Archives of disease in childhood. Fetal and neonatal edition, 1998. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
aimTo determine if pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) in ventilated preterm infants is independently associated with the development of chronic lung disease (CLD) and whether early assessment has any prognostic value.
methodsTwo cohorts (development n = 55; and validation n = 28) of preterm infants were studied at 24 hours of age. PAP was assessed non-invasively using its inverse correlation with the corrected acceleration time to right ventricular ejection time ratio (AT:RVET(c)), calculated from the pulmonary artery Doppler waveform. Clinical and respiratory variables were also collected. Using logistic regression analysis to identify factors independently associated with CLD, a prognostic score was developed to predict CLD. The ability of the score to predict CLD was described using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.
resultsBirthweight, inspired oxygen concentration, and AT:RVET(c) were independently predictive of CLD. The area under the ROC curve was 0.96 for the development and 0.89 for the validation cohort. Exclusion of AT:RVET(c) resulted in a reduction to 0.88 and 0.73, respectively.
conclusionPAP is independently associated with CLD. An early assessment of PAP using AT:RVET(c) may permit the early prediction of CLD as part of a multifactorial scoring system.
