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

purposeDespite safety concerns, β

methodsFor this single-center retrospective case-control study of prospectively collected clinical data, all infants born before 32 weeks of gestation between 2001 and 2012 were included. The association of prenatal exposure to fenoterol and the development of ROP were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression.

resultsn = 1134 infants < 32 weeks of gestation were screened for eligibility, out of which n = 722 met the inclusion criteria. Exposure to fenoterol (n = 505) was not associated with a higher rate of ROP (OR 0.721, 95% CI 0.463-1.122). Further, duration of exposure (days) did not alter the incidence of ROP (OR 1.001, 95% CI 0.986-1.016). Frequency distribution of different ROP stages and the need for therapeutic intervention was also not affected by prenatal exposure to fenoterol. Risk factors for the development of ROP like low birth weight, low gestational age, prolonged respiratory support and multiple gestation were confirmed in our large study cohort.
