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

purposeVery low birth weight infants (VLBWIs) have been thought as risk of bad outcomes in the patients with esophageal atresia (EA). However, detailed outcomes of EA within VLBWIs were not fully understood. We aimed to reveal short- and long-term outcomes in VLBWIs with EA.

methodsClinical data regarding VLBWIs with EA registered in Neonatal Research Network Japan, a multicenter research database in Japan, were collected. Patients with chromosomal abnormality were excluded. Short term outcome was survival discharge from NICU and long-term outcome was neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI) at 3 years.

resultsA total of 103 patients were analyzed. the overall survival discharge rate from NICU was 68.0% (70/103). The risk of death was increased as the birth weight got reduced. The presence of associated anomaly increased the risk of death. Three-year neurodevelopmental information was available in 32.9% (23/70) of patients. Of the 23 included patients for 3-year follow-up, 34.8% had NDI. The risk of NDI was increased as the birth weight reduced.

conclusionsIn VLBWIs with EA, survival discharge from NICU was still not high. More immature patients and patients with an associated anomaly had worse outcomes. Among patients who survived, NDI was confirmed in a certain number of patients.
