Varying patterns of home oxygen use in infants at 23-43 weeks' gestation discharged from United States neonatal intensive care units.

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.
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 compare proportions of infants at different gestational ages discharged from the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) on home oxygen, to determine how many were classified with chronic lung disease based on timing of discharge on home oxygen, and to determine the percentage discharged on home oxygen who received mechanical ventilation. STUDY
designWe evaluated a retrospective cohort of infants of 23-43 weeks' gestational age discharged from 228 NICUs in 2009, using the Pediatrix Clinical Data Warehouse. Multilevel logistic regression analysis identified predictors of home oxygen use among extremely preterm, early-moderate preterm, late preterm, and term infants. Duration of mechanical ventilation and median length of stay were calculated for infants discharged on home oxygen.
resultsFor the 48877 infants studied, the rate of home oxygen use ranged from 28% (722 of 2621) in extremely preterm infants to 0.7% (246 of 34 934) in late preterm and term infants. Extremely preterm infants composed 56% (722 of 1286) of the infants discharged on home oxygen; late preterm and term infants, 19% (246 of 1286). After gestational age, mechanical ventilation was the main predictor of home oxygen use; however, 61% of the late preterm and term infants discharged on home oxygen did not receive ventilation. The median length of hospital stay was 95 days (IQR, 76-114 days) for extremely preterm infants discharged on home oxygen, but only 15 days (IQR, 10-22 days) for late preterm and term ventilated infants discharged on home oxygen.
conclusionAlthough home oxygen use is uncommon in later-gestation infants, the greater overall numbers of later-gestation infants contribute significantly to the increased need for home oxygen for infants at NICU discharge. Neither respiratory failure nor lengthy hospitalization is a prerequisite for home oxygen use at later gestational age.
