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

Background: Preterm infants have immature respiratory drive and often require prolonged periods of mechanical ventilation. Prolonged mechanical ventilation induces systemic inflammation resulting in ventilation-induced brain injury, however its effect on brainstem respiratory centers is unknown. We aimed to determine the effects of 24 h of mechanical ventilation on inflammation and injury in brainstem respiratory centres of preterm fetal sheep. Methods: Preterm fetal sheep at 110 ± 1 days (d) gestation were instrumented to provide mechanical ventilation Results: Conclusion: Mechanical ventilation induces a systemic inflammatory response with only moderate inflammatory effects within the brainstem respiratory centres of preterm fetal sheep.
