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

backgroundRates of extubation failure of extremely preterm infants remain high. Analysis of breathing patterns variability during spontaneous breathing under endotracheal tube continuous positive airway pressure (ETT-CPAP) is a potential tool to predict extubation readiness.

objectiveTo investigate if automated analysis of respiratory signals would reveal differences in respiratory behavior between infants that were successfully extubated or not.

methodsRespiratory Inductive Plethysmography (RIP) signals were recorded during ETT-CPAP just prior to extubation. Signals were digitized, and analyzed using an Automated Unsupervised Respiratory Event Analysis (AUREA). Extubation failure was defined as reintubation within 72 hr. Statistical differences between infants who were successfully extubated or failed were calculated.

resultsA total of 56 infants were enrolled and one was excluded due to instability during the ETT-CPAP; 11 out of 55 infants studied failed extubation (20%). No differences in demographics were observed between the success and failure groups. Significant differences on the variability of some respiratory parameters or 'metrics' estimated by AUREA were observed between the 2 groups. Indeed, a simple classification using the variability of two metrics of respiratory behavior predicted extubation failure with high accuracy.

conclusionAutomated analysis of respiratory behavior during a short ETT-CPAP period may help in the prediction of extubation readiness in extremely preterm infants.
