Patent Ductus Arteriosus in Extremely Preterm Infants: Update on Current Diagnostic and Treatment Options.
Review in Current treatment options in cardiovascular medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Purpose of Review: Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) treatment strategies in the neonatal period differ widely. Variations in what constitutes hemodynamic significance (hsPDA) and scarcity of high-quality data on long-term outcomes has contributed to lack of standardization. Filling these knowledge gaps would impact clinical decision making. Recent Findings: Recent trials have not shown improvement in outcomes with early compared to expectant management. Targeted neonatal echocardiography (TnECHO) has facilitated timely intervention with encouraging outcomes. Acetaminophen use is increasing even in infants < 24 weeks. Advancements in percutaneous transcatheter occlusion, characterization of the unique expression of genes and ion channels of the ductus arteriosus, and attention to nonpharmacologic strategies are essential advances in PDA management. Summary: With increased utilization of TnECHO, clarification of the scope of transcatheter-based closures, further understanding of the genetic and molecular factors involved in ductal tone, and the appreciation of the off-target effects that medications and fluid balance can have on the DA, providing targeted, individualized PDA treatment is achievable. However, the development of innovative therapies to promote ductal closure is a necessity.
