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

objectiveIn addition to the previous classification of chronic lung disease (CLD) O2 dependency at 36 weeks of postmenstrual age, a new definition of CLD has recently been proposed: new bronchopulmonary-dysplasia (BPD). This uses total duration of O2 supplementation and positive pressure requirements to delineate three degrees of severity (mild, moderate, and severe) according to the respiratory status at 36 weeks postmenstrual age. We analyzed the balance of serum proinflammatory and profibrotic/angiogenic cytokine concentrations in relation to CLD and the new BPD definition. DESIGN AND

settingDescriptive study in a third-level neonatal ICU. PATIENTS: Thirty-one preterm neonates with a gestational age of 24-29 weeks were studied to evaluate their serum cytokine concentration; they were previously enrolled in a randomized clinical trial to compare the effects of high-frequency oscillatory ventilation vs. intermittent mandatory ventilation in terms of pulmonary mechanics and lung cytokines. Serum samples were collected on days 1, 3, and 5 after birth until extubation to detect the levels of three proinflammatory cytokines plus four profibrotic/angiogenic cytokines, and correlations were examined to old CLD and new BPD. Ventilation treatments were distributed homogeneously between the groups and did not interfere with the results presented here. RESULTS AND

conclusionsOld CLD development, mainly corresponding to the moderate/severe forms of new BPD, was associated with increased proinflammatory and profibrotic/angiogenic cytokines, while mild forms of new BPD were characterized only by increases in profibrotic/angiogenic cytokines, suggesting a different balance of two pathogenic mechanisms in different phases of the disease.
