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

objectivesTo evaluate the success of a sedation protocol of fentanyl and midazolam infusions for infants undergoing laser photocoagulation for retinopathy of prematurity.

methodsThis retrospective study included infants receiving a sedation protocol for laser photocoagulation during a 4-year period. The primary objective was protocol success, defined as completion without interruption, absence of protocol dose deviations, and absence of interventions. Secondary objectives compared outcomes between those with and without opioid/benzodiazepine exposure. A logistic regression was used to assess the effect of prior opioid/benzodiazepine exposure on requirement for fentanyl infusion increases.

resultsTwenty-six infants were included. Seven (26.9%) had protocol success. Sixteen (61.5%) had protocol success, excluding dose deviations. Seventeen (65.4%) experienced ≥1 cardiopulmonary adverse events. Photocoagulation was completed in all cases.

conclusionsMost achieved protocol success, when eliminating dosing deviations. These data indicate that flexibility is needed in fentanyl and midazolam infusion titration, based on clinical response.
