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 describe the incidence, trends, management's variability and short-term outcomes of preterm infants with severe post-hemorrhagic ventricular dilatation (sPHVD).

methodsWe reviewed infants <33 weeks' gestation who had PHVD and were admitted to the Canadian Neonatal Network between 2010 and 2018. We compared perinatal characteristics and short-term outcomes between those with sPHVD and those with mild/moderate PHVD and those with and without ventriculo-peritoneal (VP) shunt.

resultsOf 29,417 infants, 2439 (8%) had PHVD; rate increased from 7.3% in 2010 to 9.6% in 2018 (P = 0.005). Among infants with PHVD, sPHVD (19%) and VP shunt (29%) rates varied significantly across Canadian centers and between geographic regions (P < 0.01 and P = 0.0002). On multivariable analysis, sPHVD was associated with greater mortality, seizures and meningitis compared to mild/moderate PHVD.

conclusionsSignificant variability in sPHVD and VP shunt rates exists between centers and regions in Canada. sPHVD was associated with increased mortality and morbidities.
