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
Purpose: To investigate the incidence and characteristics of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) premature infants with late gestational age (GA) and large birth weight (BW) and show a 7-year trend of ROP incidence in South China. Methods: This retrospective, cross-sectional study included premature infants who received ROP screening in a 7-year period (from 2010 to 2016) at the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital (SYSMH), Guangzhou, South China. Infants were screened if they had GA <37 weeks or BW <2,500 g. All screened infants were divided into two groups: Group 1 (with both GA ≥ 35 weeks and BW ≥ 1,750 g) and Group 2 (others). The characteristics of ROP infants in Group 1 were analyzed and compared with those in Group 2. Results: A total of 911 premature infants were screened, with 282 infants in Group 1 and 629 in Group 2. Both the incidences of any ROP (6.7 vs. 8.3%, Conclusions: These findings indicate that even the premature infants with late GA and large BW also have a high risk of developing ROP, especially for those delivered by vagina. The findings may provide a significant reference for ROP screening and neonatal care in South China and other regions with similar conditions.
