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
Objective: We investigated the association between bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and 3 years death or neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI) in very preterm infants without severe brain injury. Method: Our prospective cohort study recruited preterm infants who were born prior to 32 weeks of gestational age and survived in the neonatal intensive care unit until 36 weeks of corrected age. Upon reaching 3 years of age, each infant was assessed for death or NDI such as cerebral palsy, cognitive deficit, hearing loss, and blindness. Correlations between BPD and death or NDI were determined using multiple logistic regression analyses adjusted for confounding factors. Result: A total of 1,417 infants without severe brain injury who survived until 36 weeks of corrected age were initially enrolled in the study. Over the study period, 201 infants were lost to follow-up and 5 infants were excluded. Our final dataset, therefore, included 1,211 infants, of which 17 died after 36 weeks of corrected age and 1,194 were followed up to 3 years of age. Among these infants, 337 (27.8%) developed BPD. Interestingly, by 3 years of age, BPD was demonstrated to be independently associated with death or NDI, with an adjusted odds ratio of 1.935 (95% confidence interval: 1.292-2.899, Conclusion: Our findings indicate that BPD is strongly associated with death or NDI in preterm infants without severe neonatal brain injury at 3 years of age. Further research is needed to understand the mechanisms linking the development of BPD with death or NDI and whether appropriate treatment of BPD may ameliorate or prevent the development of neurological complications.
