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

backgroundPersistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) is a condition in which pulmonary vascular resistance fails to decrease after birth. PPHN leads to hypoxemia due to right-to-left shunting of the blood through the fetal circulation. This study aimed to determine the association between PPHN and prematurity in neonates admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). MATERIALS AND

methodsThis study is a single-center, retrospective, and cross-sectional study. Patients diagnosed with PPHN had been selected by using a non-probability consecutive sampling technique from 2016 to 2020 at King Abdulaziz Medical City in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Patients with PPHN who did not admit to NICU were excluded.

resultsFifty-six patients had met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Twenty-six neonates were born prematurely before 37 weeks of gestation, and 30 were born at 37 weeks or more. Among the study population, respiratory complications were seen in 30 patients with a rate of 53.6%. The most common complications were respiratory failure, persistent pulmonary hypertension, and cardiopulmonary arrest.

conclusionMortality was documented in 26 patients, with the complicated group having a rate of 73.3% compared to the uncomplicated group 15.4%. The most common complications seen in our patients were respiratory failure, persistent pulmonary hypertension, and cardiopulmonary arrest.
