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

aimTo determine the incidence and risk factors of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and the sensitivity of current screening criteria in a tertiary eye center in Tehran, Iran.

methodsIn a cross-sectional observational study, neonates weighing ≤2000 grams at birth or born <34wk gestational age (GA) and all other infants at risk of ROP admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) or referred to our ROP clinic were investigated. The incidence of ROP and severe ROP (

resultsAmong 207 infants, the incidence of ROP and severe ROP was 33.3% and 11.1%, respectively. Mean GA and birth weight (BW) were significantly lower in ROP

conclusionROP incidence is relatively high in Iran. Identifying ROP risk factors results in more accurate screening and reduces the risk of irreversible vision loss. The ROP screening criteria utilized in Iran are efficient at the present time.
