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

Surfactant administered in the delivery suite might prevent or reduce the severity of subsequent respiratory distress syndrome. This review describes the evidence for surfactant delivery methods with relationship to their relevance in the delivery suite. The techniques include delivery using a thin catheter with the first breath, by the intubation-surfactant extubation procedure, less invasive surfactant administration (LISA) technique, using a laryngeal mask airway (LMA), or by nebulisation. There have been few randomised trials that have evaluated outcomes using these techniques in the delivery suite, and these were early trials. Currently, practitioners favour use of nasal continuous positive airway pressure with early rescue surfactant. Whether prophylactic surfactant given by the LISA technique or other techniques, such as via a LMA in the delivery suite, is more beneficial merits testing. This will require appropriately designed randomised trials with long-term outcomes.
