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

In this case report, we discuss the presentation of retinopathy of prematurity in triplets born at 25 + 3 weeks gestational age of whom each had a different birth weight, weight gain and treatment requirements. Triplet A weighed 800 g and his retinopathy of prematurity had resolved with no intervention. Triplet B weighed 630 g at birth and he required bilateral intravitreal ranibizumab injection at 32 + 6 weeks. Triplet C weighed 520 g and required bilateral intravitreal ranibizumab injection at 36 weeks, but after 5 weeks he had recurrence which was treated with bilateral diode laser. Triplet C had the poorest weight gain. The main differences between the triplets are the birth weight and the weight gain. Furthermore, refraction was performed at 10 months; triplet A had a hyperopia of +1.25 spherical equivalent in both eyes, triplet B had mild myopia of -0.25 spherical equivalent and triplet C had a myopia of -3.00 spherical equivalent in the right eye and -2.75 spherical equivalent in the left eye.
