Retinopathy of Prematurity and Hearing Impairment in Infants Born with Very-Low-Birth-Weight: Analysis of a Korean Neonatal Network Database.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundTo investigate hearing impairment and its association with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) among children born with very low birth weight (VLBW, birth weight < 1500 g).
methodsThis prospective registry study included 7940 VLBW infants who underwent both ophthalmic (ROP) and hearing screening at the 70 participating centers of the Korean Neonatal Network. Hearing screening was performed using auditory brainstem response and/or automated otoacoustic emission testing. Hearing impairment, defined as a unilateral or bilateral hearing threshold of ≥40 dB on the auditory brainstem response threshold (ABR-T) test, was evaluated and compared between children with and without ROP at the corrected ages of 18 months and 3 years.
resultsThe frequency of infants who did not undergo hearing screening at near-term ages was higher in the ROP group than in the no-ROP group (18.2% vs. 12.0%,
conclusionsAmong infants born with VLBW, hearing impairment was more common in those with ROP than in those without ROP at 18 months of age. However, there was no significant independent association between hearing impairment and ROP.
