Discharge Practices for Infants with Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia: A Survey of National Experts.
Article in The Journal of pediatrics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 establish consensus practices among a panel of national experts for the discharge of premature infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) from the hospital to home. STUDY
designWe conducted a Delphi study that included US neonatologists and pediatric pulmonologists from the Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia Collaborative to establish consensus practices-defined as recommendations with at least 80% agreement-for infants with BPD being discharged from the hospital. Specifically, we evaluated recommendations for diagnostic tests to be completed around discharge, follow-up respiratory care, and family education.
resultsThirty-one expert participants completed 3 rounds of surveys, with a 99% response rate (92 of 93). Consensus was established that infants with moderate-severe BPD (ie, those who remain on respiratory support at 36 weeks) and those discharged on oxygen should be targeted for in-person pulmonary follow-up within 1 month of hospital discharge. Specialized neonatal follow-up is an alternative for infants with mild BPD. Infants with moderate or severe BPD should have an echocardiogram performed after 36 weeks to screen for pulmonary hypertension. Infants with BPD warrant additional evaluations if they have growth restriction or poor growth, pulmonary hypertension, or tachypnea and if they are discharged to home on oxygen, diuretics, or nonoral feeds.
conclusionsThis Delphi survey establishes expert consensus around best practices for follow-up respiratory management and routine evaluation for infants with BPD surrounding neonatal discharge. Areas of disagreement for which consensus was not established are discussed.
