1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Hypertension is encountered in up to 3% of neonates and occurs more frequently in neonates requiring hospitalization in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) than in neonates in newborn nurseries or outpatient clinics. Former NICU neonates are at higher risk of hypertension secondary to invasive procedures and disease-related comorbidities. Accurate measurement of blood pressure (BP) remains challenging, but new standardized methods result in less measurement error. Multiple factors contribute to the rapidly changing BP of a neonate: gestational age, postmenstrual age (PMA), birth weight, and maternal factors are the most significant contributors. Given the natural evolution of BP as neonates mature, a percentile cutoff of 95% for PMA has been the most common definition used; however, this is not based on outcome data. Common causes of neonatal hypertension are congenital and acquired renal disease, history of umbilical arterial catheter placement, and bronchopulmonary dysplasia. The treatment of neonatal hypertension has mostly been off-label, but as evidence accumulates, the safety of medical management has increased. The prognosis of neonatal hypertension remains largely unknown and thankfully most often resolves unless secondary to renovascular disease, but further research is needed. This review discusses important factors related to neonatal hypertension including BP measurement, determinants of BP, and management of neonatal hypertension.
