Incidence and risk factors of retinopathy of prematurity in an Italian cohort of preterm infants.
Article in Italian journal of pediatrics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers.
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.
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
objectiveNon-negligible differences in retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and its risk factors between different neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) are reported. Our aim was to assess the incidence and risk factors for ROP development in a large cohort of very preterm infants who were assisted in two Italian NICUs.
methodsPreterm infants with gestational age between 23
resultsWe studied a total of 178 infants of whom 67 (38%) developed ROP (stage 1: n = 12; stage 2: n = 41; stage 3: n = 14). Regression analysis demonstrated that maternal milk (OR 0.979, 95% Cl 0.961-0.998) decreased the risk of developing ROP, while intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) (OR 2.055, 95% Cl 1.120-3.772) increased it. Moreover, maternal milk was found to decrease (OR 0.981, 95% Cl 0.964-0.997) the risk of ROP at discharge, while RBC transfusion increased it (OR 1.522, 95% Cl 1.208-1.916).
conclusionsIn our cohort the occurrence of ROP was similar to that previously reported. Strategies for promoting the use of mother's own milk, preventing IVH, and standardizing the approach to RBC transfusions could contribute to decreasing the risk of ROP in very preterm infants.
