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

Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) results from disrupted fetal-neonatal circulatory transition, characterized by elevated pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), right-to-left shunting, and refractory hypoxemia. Despite improved perinatal care, PPHN remains a major source of neonatal morbidity and mortality. This review details PPHN phenotypes, pathophysiology, etiology, diagnostics including echocardiography and biomarkers like B-type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) or N-terminal pro-B-type Natriuretic Peptide (NT-proBNP), and current therapeutic modalities, from lung recruitment and surfactant to targeted vasodilator therapy (iNO, sildenafil, milrinone, bosentan) and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). We emphasize the role of endothelial and molecular mechanisms in precision therapy and outline guidelines for clinical decision-making in diverse care settings.
