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

objectiveTo determine the sensitivity and specificity of the 21-month neurodevelopmental outcome for predicting the presence of neurodevelopmental impairment at 36 months corrected age in a population of preterm infants under 29 weeks gestation. STUDY

designThis is a retrospective observational cohort study. Preterm infants born under 29 weeks gestation who were followed up at both 18-21 months and 36 months corrected age with outcome data available were enrolled.

resultsOverall, 713 preterm infants <29 weeks gestation and were included in the final analysis. The specificity of the 21-month assessment for predicting neurodevelopmental impairment at 36 months corrected age was 66% (95% confidence interval[CI] 62-71%) with a positive predictive value of 61% (95% CI 56-66%).

conclusionIn preterm neonates born <29 weeks gestation, the 18-21 months corrected neurodevelopmental outcome had low specificity and positive predictive value for predicting the presence of neurodevelopmental impairment at 36 months corrected age.
