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

objectiveTo demonstrate the association between the duration of significant patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in extremely preterm infants.

methodsAll extremely preterm infants (<29 weeks) treated in our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit from January 2013 to March 2016 were included if their PDA status was confirmed at <7 days of life. Infants with genetic syndromes, complex congenital anomalies and insignificant PDAs were excluded. Total duration of significant PDA was estimated by reviewing serial echocardiograms. Significant PDA was diagnosed using our scoring system that was based upon echocardiographic parameters and clinical status of the infants. Study cohort was divided into four groups based on the duration of significant PDA. Group A-No PDA, Group B-PDA <1-week, Group C- PDA 1-2 weeks, and Group D-PDA >2 weeks. ANOVA and multivariate analysis were performed to compare the groups.

resultsThere were 147 infants with no PDA (Group A), 50, 35, and 41 infants were enrolled in Groups B, C, and D, respectively. There were no differences in maternal and neonatal variables among groups except for the following: maternal smoking, chorioamnionitis, antenatal indomethacin, gestation, birth weight, mode of delivery and incidence of death or BPD. Logistic regression analysis showed that longer duration of significant PDA was associated with higher risk for death or BPD (adjusted OR 1.37, 95% CI 1.03-1.82).

conclusionLonger duration of significant PDA is associated with the higher risk for BPD/death in extremely preterm infants.
