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

backgroundBronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is usually diagnosed in preterm infants at least 28 days after birth. Great interest lies in the potential to identify biomarkers that predict development of the disease and future neurodevelopmental outcomes. We have reviewed the existing literature on early biomarkers as predictors for BPD in preterm infants.

methodsTwo reviewers independently searched the databases of PubMed, EMBASE, and Google Scholar for studies pertaining to biomarkers for BPD. Studies were assessed using Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies criteria.

resultsWe identified 46 relevant articles that are summarized in the review. These studies assessed over 30 potential biomarkers. Sensitivity and specificity of biomarkers were reported or could be calculated for only 16 articles, and ranged from 0 to 100 %. Based on the nine highest quality studies, serum KL-6, CC16, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, and end-tidal carbon monoxide (etCO) perform extremely well in predicting the early diagnosis of established BPD, highlighting these biomarkers as promising candidates for future research.

conclusionsPublished data from studies on serum biomarkers and etCO suggest that biomarkers may have great potential to predict the subsequent BPD and neurodevelopmental outcomes. These biomarkers need validation in larger studies, and the generalizability of biomarkers for predicting BPD, as well as the neurodevelopmental outcomes, needs to be further explored.
