Inter-center variation in death or tracheostomy placement in infants with severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 31 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveTo estimate the presence and sources of inter-center variation (ICV) in the risk of death or tracheostomy placement (D/T) among infants with severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia (sBPD)Study design:We analyzed the Children's Hospitals Neonatal Database between 2010 and 2013 to identify referred infants born <32 weeks' gestation with sBPD. The association between center and the primary outcome of D/T was analyzed by multivariable modeling. Hypothesized diagnoses/practices were included to determine if these explained any observed ICV in D/T.
resultsD/T occurred in 280 (20%) of 1383 eligible infants from 21 centers. ICV was significant for D/T (range 2-46% by center, P<0.001) and tracheostomy placement (n=187, range 2-37%, P<0.001), but not death (n=93, range 0-19%, P=0.08). This association persisted in multivariable analysis (adjusted center-specific odds ratios for D/T varied 5.5-fold, P=0.009).
conclusionsICV in D/T is apparent among infants with sBPD. These results highlight that the indications for tracheostomy (and subsequent chronic ventilation) remain uncertain.
