Article in Pediatric research, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05298748 (Womb Recordings and Respiratory Control Maturation in Neonates), which is not on this map. Cited by 56 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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.

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

backgroundBronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a chronic lung disease and major pulmonary complication after premature birth. We have previously shown that increased intermittent hypoxemia (IH) events have been correlated to adverse outcomes and mortality in extremely premature infants. We hypothesize that early IH patterns are associated with the development of BPD.

methodsIH frequency, duration, and nadirs were assessed using oxygen saturation (SpO

resultsDiagnosis of BPD at 36 weeks postmenstrual age was associated with increased daily IH, longer IH duration, and a higher IH nadir. Significant differences were detected through day 7 to day 26 of life. Infants who developed BPD had lower mean SpO

conclusionsBPD was associated with more frequent, longer, and less severe IH events in addition to increased oxygen and pressure exposure within the first 26 days of life. Early IH patterns may contribute to the development of BPD or aid in identification of neonates at high risk.
