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

objectiveTo evaluate safety of oseltamivir in neonates with significant comorbidities in a level-III neonatal intensive care unit during an outbreak of 2009 H1N1 influenza. STUDY

designWe performed a retrospective chart review of neonates who received oseltamivir for treatment and prophylaxis of influenza during the outbreak.

resultA total of 11 neonates received twice daily dosing and 21 neonates received once daily dosing (12 to 25 mg per dose) for treatment and prophylaxis of influenza, respectively. Age ranged from 2 days to 11.4 months (mean, 2.1 months). Corrected gestational age and weight at initiation of oseltamivir ranged from 32 to 86 weeks (mean, 41 weeks) and 775 to 8635 g (mean, 3074 g), respectively. All had complex underlying conditions. Oseltamivir was well tolerated. Neurologic adverse effects or mortality attributable to oseltamivir were not identified. Mild rash and gastrointestinal signs in four infants resolved without oseltamivir discontinuation. Three showed a transient rise in transaminases; all returned to baseline after completing therapy.

conclusionOseltamivir appears to be well tolerated in preterm and term neonates and infants with complex underlying conditions. More studies are needed to determine optimal dosing for treatment and prophylaxis in this vulnerable age group.
