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

backgroundThe risk factors for anemia of prematurity (AOP) among late preterm infants are unelucidated. We identified risk factors for declining hemoglobin (Hb) concentration and triggering factors for AOP treatment in infants born at 30-35 gestational weeks.

methodsFrom 2012 to 2020, we conducted a single-center retrospective study of infants born at 30-35 weeks of gestation without congenital anomalies or severe hemorrhage. The primary outcome was AOP development, defined by initiation of treatments including red blood cell transfusion, subcutaneous injections of erythropoietin, and iron supplementation. A multivariable logistic regression model was used to investigate potential risk factors for AOP.

resultsA total of 358 infants were included. Lower gestational age (odds ratio, 0.19; 95% confidence interval 0.11-0.32), small for gestational age (SGA; 7.17, 2.15-23.9), low maternal Hb level before birth (0.66, 0.49-0.87), low Hb at birth (0.71, 0.57-0.89), and multiple large blood samplings (1.79; 1.40-2.29) showed significantly higher odds for AOP development.

conclusionsGestational age, SGA, low maternal Hb before birth, Hb at birth, and high number of large blood samplings were positively associated with AOP development in infants born at 30-35 gestational weeks.
