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

unlabelledVery low birth weight (VLBW) infants, even those without bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) are at risk for pulmonary morbidity during infancy. Although some studies have found an association between the level of neonatal oxygen exposure and later morbidity, others have not. A possible explanation for these inconsistent findings is that the cumulative dosage of neonatal supplemental oxygen to which infants are exposure is difficult to accurately quantify.

methodsA prospective cohort study of VLBW infants without BPD was performed to test the hypothesis that cumulative oxygen exposure in the neonatal period summarized using an area under the curve analysis (Oxygen(AUC)) is predictive of later pulmonary symptoms. Risk factors tested in the analysis included both neonatal and outpatient respiratory exposures. Outcome measures included respiratory symptoms and use of medications and health services to treat those symptoms.

resultsThe prevalence of pulmonary symptoms after NICU discharge was 48% (36 of 75 patients). Oxygen(AUC) as early as 72 hr of age predicts respiratory symptoms and respiratory-related health service and medication use during infancy in a dose dependent manner. Oxygen(AUC) is a stronger predictor of later respiratory symptoms than is the number of days of supplemental oxygen or positive pressure respiratory therapy or integrated mean airway pressure (MAP(AUC)).

conclusionsOxygen(AUC) as early as 72 hr of age is predictive of later respiratory symptoms and use of health services and medications to treat those symptoms. Supplemental oxygen therapy should be monitored carefully to minimize oxygen exposure and risk of later respiratory symptoms in VLBW infants.
