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

backgroundContinuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is a primary form of respiratory support used in the intensive care of preterm infants, but its long-term effects on airway (AW) function are unknown.

methodsWe developed a neonatal mouse model of CPAP treatment to determine whether it modifies later AW reactivity. Unanesthetized spontaneously breathing mice were fitted with a mask to deliver CPAP (6 cmH2O, 3 h/day) for 7 consecutive days starting at postnatal day 1. AW reactivity to methacholine was assessed using the in vitro living lung slice preparation.

resultsOne week of CPAP increased AW responsiveness to methacholine in male, but not female mice, compared to untreated control animals. The AW hyper-reactivity of male mice persisted for 2 wk (at P21) after CPAP treatment ended. Four days of CPAP, however, did not significantly increase AW reactivity. Females also exhibited AW hyper-reactivity at P21, suggesting a delayed response to early (7 d) CPAP treatment. The effects of 7 d of CPAP on hyper-reactivity to methacholine were unique to smaller AWs whereas larger ones were relatively unaffected.

conclusionThese data may be important to our understanding of the potential long-term consequences of neonatal CPAP therapy used in the intensive care of preterm infants.
