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

purposeCongenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) remains a challenging and life-threatening congenital anomaly. The aim was to evaluate whether treatment and survival has changed during the last decade.

methodsWe retrospectively analysed all consecutive infants with CDH referred to two European tertiary paediatric surgical centres over 11 years (January 1999 to December 2009). Minimum follow-up was 1 year. χ(2) test for trend was used to evaluate significance.

resultsThere were 234 infants. There was no significant variation over time in the proportion of infants receiving high frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) (p = 0.89), inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) (p = 0.90) or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) (p = 0.22). 205 infants (88 %) were stabilised and underwent surgical repair; of these, 186 (79 %) survived after surgery. Over time there was a significant increase in the proportion of infants undergoing surgical repair (p = 0.018) without a concomitant significant improvement in survival (p = 0.099).

conclusionThis multicentre analysis indicates that the survival rate of infants with CDH referred to two European paediatric surgical centres is high (79 %). The use of HFOV, iNO and ECMO has not changed in recent years. We observed a significant increase in the proportion of infants who undergo surgery but this has not resulted in a significant increase in the overall survival rate.
