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

This study was done to evaluate respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) related readmission (RRR) and risk factors of RRR in preterm infants < 34 weeks gestational age (GA) within 1 yr following discharge from the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Infants (n = 1,140) who were born and admitted to the NICUs of 46 hospitals in Korea from April to September 2012, and followed up for > 1 yr after discharge from the NICU, were enrolled. The average GA and birth weight of the infants was 30(+5) ± 2(+5) weeks and 1,502 ± 474 g, respectively. The RRR rate of enrolled infants was 8.4% (96/1,140), and RSV accounted for 58.2% of respiratory readmissions of infants who had laboratory tests confirming etiological viruses. Living with elder siblings (odd ratio [OR], 2.68; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.68-4.28; P < 0.001), and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) (OR, 2.95; 95% CI, 1.44-6.04; P = 0.003, BPD vs. none) increased the risk of RRR. Palivizumab prophylaxis (OR, 0.06; 95% CI, 0.03-0.13; P < 0.001) decreased the risk of RRR. The risk of RRR of infants of 32-33 weeks' gestation was lower than that of infants < 26 weeks' gestation (OR, 0.11; 95% CI, 0.02-0.53; P = 0.006). This was a nationwide study that evaluated the rate and associated risk factors of RRR in Korean preterm infants. Preterm infants with BPD or living with siblings should be supervised, and administration of palivizumab to prevent RRR should be considered.
