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

Objective: To determine the incidence and risk factors for the development of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of Hue Central Hospital, Vietnam. Methods: A prospective study was performed in 214 preterm infants with gestational age (GA) ≤33 weeks and/or ≤1800 grams of birth weight (BW) or infants with a GA >33 weeks and a BW >1800 grams with an unstable clinical course who were screened for ROP in Hue Central Hospital, Vietnam. Results: Fifty-eight infants (27.1%) developed ROP; 39.7% cases were stage 1, 34.5% cases were stage 2, and 25.8% cases were stage 3. Gestational age (GA), birth weight, anemia, sepsis, respiratory distress syndrome, total days on oxygen supplementation > 1 week, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), mechanical ventilation, blood transfusion, and surfactant had a significant association with ROP in univariate analysis (p<0.05). Using multivariate analysis, GA less than 32 weeks, sepsis, and CPAP/mechanical ventilation remained independent risk factors for ROP development. Conclusion: The incidence of ROP in Vietnam was 27.1%. A GA less than 32 weeks, sepsis, and CPAP/mechanical ventilation are important risk factors for developing ROP.
