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

objectiveTo study the impact of an evidence-based neuroprotection care (NPC) bundle on long-term neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI) in infants born extremely premature. STUDY

designAn NPC bundle targeting predefined risk factors for acute brain injury in extremely preterm infants was implemented. We compared the incidence of composite outcome of death or severe neurodevelopmental impairment (sNDI) at 21 months adjusted age pre and post bundle implementation.

resultsAdjusting for confounding factors, NPC bundle implementation associated with a significant reduction in death or sNDI (aOR, 0.34; 95% CI 0.17-0.68; P = 0.002), mortality (aOR, 0.31; 95% CI (0.12-0.79); P = 0.015), sNDI (aOR, 0.37; 95% CI: 0.12-0.94; P = 0.039), any motor, language, or cognitive composite score <70 (aOR, 0.48; 95% CI: 0.26-0.90; P = 0.021).

conclusionImplementation of NPC bundle targeting predefined risk factors is associated with a reduction in mortality or sNDI in extremely preterm infants.
