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

Introduction: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) with pulmonary hypertension (PH) leads to increased morbidity and mortality in extremely preterm infants. Recent studies have analyzed factors associated with development of PH in BPD; however, this research remains inconclusive, and controversy exists regarding the correlation between BPD and PH. This study aimed to investigate potential associated factors, clinical characteristics, and outcomes of BPD with pulmonary hypertension in very low birth weight (VLBW) preterm infants. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study, reviewing the records of infants with gestational age (GA) <32 weeks and birth weight <1,500 g admitted to a tertiary neonatal intensive care unit between January 2020 and October 2021 who were diagnosed with moderate to severe BPD. Echocardiogram was performed at the postmenstrual age of 36 weeks or before discharge. The diagnosis of PH was based on the findings of echocardiogram. Prenatal and postnatal characteristics, demographic data, treatment details, and outcomes were collected and analyzed. Results: A total of 139 VLBW infants with BPD were enrolled and divided into a PH group ( Conclusion: PDA ligation and a higher PEEP setting were associated with BPD-PH in our cohort study. Compared with VLBW infants with BPD but without PH, infants with BPD and PH were hospitalized for longer, and also had a higher incidence of oxygen support after discharge, ROP, and tracheostomy.
