Trial report in Archives of disease in childhood. Fetal and neonatal edition, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01651637 (A First in Human Clinical Study on the Safety and Tolerability of Two Escalating Single Doses of CHF 5633), which is not on this map.

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.

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.

Abstract

objectiveCHF5633 (Chiesi Farmaceutici S.p.A., Parma, Italy) is the first fully synthetic surfactant enriched by peptide analogues of

designMulticentre cohort study. PATIENTS: Forty infants from 27 OUTCOME MEASURES: Adverse events (AEs) and adverse drug reactions (ADRs) were monitored with complications of prematurity considered AEs if occurring after dosing. Systemic absorption and immunogenicity were assessed. Efficacy was assessed by change in FiO

resultsRapid and sustained improvements in FiO

conclusionsBoth CHF5633 doses were well tolerated and showed promising clinical efficacy profile. These encouraging data provide a basis for ongoing randomised controlled trials. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01651637.
