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

backgroundPatients following repair of an esophageal atresia (EA) or tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) carry an increased risk of long-term cardiopulmonary malaise. The role of the airway microbiome in EA/TEF patients remains unclear.

methodsAll EA/TEF patients treated between 1980 and 2010 were invited to a prospective clinical examination, spirometry, and spiroergometry. The airway microbiome was determined from deep induced sputum by 16 S rRNA gene sequencing. The results were compared to a healthy age- and sex-matched control group.

resultsNineteen EA/TEF patients with a mean age of 24.7 ± 7 years and 19 age- and sex-matched controls were included. EA/TEF patients showed a significantly lower muscle mass, lower maximum vital capacity (VC

conclusionEA/TEF patients frequently suffer from restrictive ventilation disorders and impaired cardiopulmonary function associated with minor alterations of the airway microbiome. Long-term examinations of EA/TEF patients seem to be necessary in order to detect impaired cardiopulmonary function. IMPACT: The key messages of the present study are a significantly decreased VC
