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

Background: Infants with a congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) and expected mild pulmonary hypoplasia have an estimated survival rate of 90%. Current guidelines for delivery room management do not consider the individual patient's disease severity, but an individualized approach with spontaneous breathing instead of routine mechanical ventilation could be beneficial for the mildest cases. We developed a resuscitation algorithm for this individualized approach serving two purposes: improving the success rate by structuring the approach and providing a guideline for other centers. Methods: An initial algorithm was discussed with all local stakeholders. Afterwards, the resulting algorithm was refined using input from international experts. Results: Eligible CDH infants: left-sided defect, observed to expected lung-to-head ratio ≥50%, gestational age at birth ≥37.0 weeks, and no major associated structural or genetic abnormalities. To facilitate fetal-to-neonatal transition, we propose to start stabilization with non-invasive respiratory support and to adjust this individually. Conclusions: Infants with mild CDH might benefit from an individualized approach for neonatal resuscitation. Herein, we present an algorithm that could serve as guidance for centers implementing this.
