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

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) are diseases that occur only in preterm infants. The etiology of these disorders is multifactorial; however, it is believed that some of the factors in children presenting with BPD affect both the initiation and severity of ROP. The aim of the study was to evaluate the degree of clinical severity of ROP in infants with BPD compared to those without BPD. METHODOLOGY: Infants were divided into two groups: the BPD+ study group and BPD- control group. Parameters including the incidence of ROP and its severity were compared.

resultsIn neonates with BPD, more severe forms of ROP occurred significantly more frequently than in infants without BPD. Newborns with BPD required significantly longer use of mechanical ventilation; moreover, the number of days in which the concentration of oxygen in the respiratory mixture exceeded 50% was greater in BPD+ children. Children with BPD also received more blood transfusions compared to children without BPD.

conclusionsNewborns in the BPD+ study group showed advanced stages of ROP more often than newborns in the BPD- control group. The etiology of ROP and BPD is multifactorial; however, our findings suggest oxygen plays a significant role in the development of these diseases.
