A comparison of methods of discontinuing nasal CPAP in premature infants <30 weeks gestation: a feasibility study.
Trial report in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveThe objective of this study was to determine whether abrupt discontinuation vs gradual wean of nasal CPAP (NCPAP) in infants <30 weeks gestation results in a decreased duration of NCPAP therapy. STUDY
designWe performed a single-center, randomized control trial of premature infants born <30 weeks gestation (n = 66), comparing discontinuation of NCPAP from 6 cmH
resultsDuration of NCPAP or mechanical ventilation was longer in the slow wean arm compared to the fast wean arm (17 vs 12 days, p = 0.03). There were no differences observed in secondary outcomes.
conclusionIn weaning NCPAP, abrupt discontinuation may be associated with a shorter duration of positive pressure respiratory support compared to a gradual weaning strategy.
