Use of Oral Sildenafil in the Management of Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn: A Case Report and Review of Literature.
Review in Nigerian medical journal : journal of the Nigeria Medical Association. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) arises from failure of the normal circulatory transition that occurs postnatally and is characterised by increased pulmonary vascular resistance, leading to significant respiratory distress and hypoxaemia. Oral sildenafil administration is a potential alternative treatment for PPHN, especially when inhaled nitric oxide is unavailable. A 72-hour-old term male neonate was referred on account of respiratory distress, and cyanosis was noticed at 30 minutes of life with RR of 76 bpm and SPO2 of 57% in room air. The baby was pale, cyanosed, icteric, and febrile (39.5°C). An initial assessment of Severe NNJ 2
