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

Premature infants undergo a complex postnatal adaptation at birth. For last two centuries, oxygen has been integral to respiratory support of preterm infants at birth. Excess oxygen can cause oxidative stress and tissue injury. Preterm infants due to lung immaturity may need oxygen for successful transition at birth. Although, considerable progress has been made in the last 3 decades, optimum oxygen therapy for preterm delivery room resuscitation remains unknown. In this review, we discuss the history and physiology behind oxygen therapy in the delivery room, evaluate current literature, provide practice points and point out knowledge gaps of oxygen therapy in preterm infant at birth.
