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

Early pulmonary vascular disease in preterm infants is associated with the subsequent development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and pulmonary hypertension (PH); however, mechanisms that contribute to or identify infants with increased susceptibility for BPD and/or PH are incompletely understood. Therefore, we tested if changes in circulating angiogenic peptides during the first week of life are associated with the later development of BPD and/or PH. We further sought to determine alternate peptides and related signaling pathways with the risk for BPD or PH. We prospectively enrolled infants with gestational age <34 wk and collected blood samples during their first week of life. BPD and PH were assessed at 36 wk postmenstrual age. Samples were assayed for each of the 1,121 peptides included in the SOMAscan scan technology, with subsequent pathway analysis. Of 102 infants in the study, 82 had BPD, and 13 had PH. Multiple angiogenic proteins (PF-4, VEGF121, ANG-1, bone morphogenetic protein 10 [BMP10], hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), ANG-2) were associated with the subsequent diagnosis of BPD; and FGF-19, PF-4, connective tissue activating peptide (CTAP)-III, and PDGF-AA levels were associated with BPD severity. Early increases in BMP10 was strongly associated with the late risk for BPD and PH. We found that early alterations of circulating angiogenic peptides and others were associated with the subsequent development of BPD. We further identified peptides that were associated with BPD severity and BPD-associated PH, including BMP10. We speculate that proteomic biomarkers during the first week of life may identify infants at risk for BPD and/or PH to enhance care and research.
