Predictors of recurrent wheezing in late preterm infants.
Article in Pediatric pulmonology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
introductionPremature infants have an increased risk of respiratory morbidity, including the development of recurrent wheezing. We sought to determine perinatal factors in late preterm infants associated with an increased risk of recurrent wheezing in the first 3 years of life.
methodsA retrospective chart review of infants born between 32 and 36 weeks gestational age at a tertiary hospital from 2013 to 2016 was performed. Infants with any co-morbid medical conditions were excluded. Recurrent wheezing was identified by two or more visit diagnoses for reactive airway disease, wheezing-associated respiratory infection, wheezing, or asthma during the first 3 years of life. Those with recurrent wheezing were compared to matched preterm infants who did not develop wheezing.
resultsThree hundred and fourteen late preterm infants were included in this study; 210 infants developed recurrent wheezing while 104 did not. Gender, sex, and race were comparable between both groups. Development of wheezing was associated with positive family history of asthma (p = .014), receiving antibiotics during the neonatal period (p < .001), requiring continuous positive airway pressure for <24 h (p = .019), and receiving supplemental oxygen during the newborn period (p = .023).
conclusionThis study retrospectively identified risk factors associated with development of wheezing in late preterm infants. Prospective studies are needed to determine whether these factors will predict recurrent wheeze in this patient population.
