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

objectivesTo evaluate the cardiac conduction system using P wave dispersion on electrocardiogram and its relationship with the short term mortality and development of arrhythmia in asphyxiated neonates.

methodsThirty term babies with evidence of asphyxia and without any congenital abnormalities were consecutively evaluated as cases. They were compared with thirty healthy term babies without asphyxia. Twelve-lead surface electrocardiography was obtained from all the patients and the controls, and P wave dispersion was calculated according to its definition as the difference between P maximum duration and P minimum duration in 12-lead electrocardiogram.

resultsA statically significant difference of P wave dispersion was observed between the patients and the control group (0.027 ± 0.011 mm/s and 0.016 ± 0.006 mm/s, respectively; P value = 0.0001). The P wave dispersion had a statistically significant correlation with the grade of asphyxia (P = 0.004, r = 0.62), the P wave dispersion had no statistically significant correlation with Apgar scores, short term arrhythmia, and troponin I level in asphyxiated neonates (P < 0.05).

conclusionsThe P wave dispersion increased in asphyxiated neonates and correlated with grade of asphyxia; however, the increased P wave dispersion was not correlated with the short term mortality, arrhythmia and troponin I level of the asphyxiated neonates.
