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

purposeGastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is one of the concomitant problems in infants with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). We assessed risk factors of GERD in CDH patients.

methodsThe retrospective observational study for CDH infants was conducted. Cases of CDH who were born between January 2006 and December 2010, were operated in the 9 participating institutions, and survived to discharge were included. Completion of medical therapy for GERD and incidence of surgery were primary outcomes. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox proportional hazards regression were used.

resultsIn 182 cases of CDH, the medical therapies for GERD were performed in 23.8% (40/168), and were completed in 60.0% (24/40). Prenatal detection of CDH (HR 5.87, CI 1.6-18.8, p = 0.012) and tube feeding at discharge (HR 5.04, 95% CI 1.3-33.1, p = 0.016) were significantly correlated with unsuccessful weaning from medical therapy. Surgery for GERD was performed in 10.7% (18/169). Gestational age (HR 4.78, 95% CI 1.5-21.1, p = 0.006) and diaphragmatic defect of more than 75% (HR 4.3, 95% CI 1.6-12.9, p = 0.005) were significantly correlated with need for antireflux surgery.

conclusionDiaphragmatic defect of more than 75% was risk factor of future need for antireflux surgery.
