Diagnosis and management of cardiopulmonary events in very low birth weight infants close to discharge: a quality improvement initiative.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundCardiopulmonary events (CPE) have a central, obstructive, or mixed etiology. Lack of standardized diagnosis and management of CPE may prolong the length of stay (LOS).
objectiveTo increase the accuracy of CPE diagnosis and decrease LOS by 10% for preterm infants over a 12-month period.
methodsDevelop an evidence-based algorithm to identify type of CPE, determine management approach, and evaluate cardio-respiratory monitors output. Apply model for improvement and statistical process control charts to determine special cause variation.
resultsIdentification of central apnea increased from 15 to 39% (p < 0.01). LOS decreased 26% from 52.6 days to 39.2 days, with an estimated cost savings of $13,119 per each of the 225 infants in the initiative.
conclusionAfter implementing an evidence-based algorithm for management of neonatal CPE, a significant increase in the accuracy of the diagnosis of central apnea and cost savings associated with a decrease in LOS were observed.
