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

objectiveCompared with pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV), volume-targeted ventilation is associated with decreased neonatal complications, including the combined outcome of death or bronchopulmonary dysplasia. However, little is known about its effect on neurodevelopmental outcome. We evaluated the hypothesis that as compared with PCV, volume-targeted ventilation reduces the risk of the combined outcome of neurodevelopmental impairment or death in very low birth weight infants. STUDY

designWe studied a cohort of extremely preterm infants managed with either volume guarantee pressure support ventilation (VGPSV; n=135) or PCV (n=135). Infants were evaluated at 18 months adjusted age with a standardized neurological examination and the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development-third edition. Logistic regression models were used to evaluate the association of ventilation mode and neurodevelopmental outcome.

resultRates of pulmonary interstitial emphysema (odds ratio 0.6; 95% confidence limits: 0.4, 0.8), hypotension (odds ratio: 0.7; 95% confidence limits: 0.5, 0.9) and mortality (odds ratio 0.45; 95% confidence limits: 0.22, 0.9) were lower among infants treated with VGPSV. The infants in the VGPSV group had a significantly shorter duration on mechanical ventilation compared with infants in the PCV group (log-rank test P<0.01). Seventy percent (155/221) of survivors were evaluated at 18 months adjusted age. A trend towards benefit for the combined outcome of death or neurodevelopmental impairment was seen in the VGPSV group but did not reach statistical significance (odds ratio: 0.59; 95% confidence limits: 0.32, 1.08).

conclusionVGPSV was associated with a decreased risk of short-term complications but not long-term developmental impairment in this modest-sized cohort.
