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

Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) has been associated with increased morbidity and mortality in preterm infants. Surgical ligation (SL) is generally performed in symptomatic infants when medical management is contraindicated or has failed. We retrospectively reviewed our institution's experience in surgical management of PDA for extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants without chest tube placement assessing its efficiency and safety. We evaluated 17 consecutive ELBW infants undergoing SL for symptomatic PDA (January 2012-January 2018) with subsequent follow-up for 6 months postdischarge. Patients consisted of 9 (53%) females and 8 (47%) males. Mean gestational age (GA) at birth was 27.9 ± 2.1 weeks. Median values for surgical age (SA) from birth to operation was 10 days (interquartile range [IQR]: 8-12); PDA diameter 3.4 mm (IQR: 3.2-3.5); surgical weight (SW) 750 g (IQR: 680-850); and days of mechanical ventilation (DMV) as estimated by Kaplan-Meier curve 22 days (95% confidence interval: 14.2-29.8). We observed a statistically significant negative association between DMV and GA at birth (rho = - 0.587,
