Incidence, risk factors, progression, and involution in retinopathy of prematurity at a tertiary care center in South India.
Article in Oman journal of ophthalmology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundRetinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a vasculoproliferative disorder of immature retina, seen in preterm babies. Multiple risk factors attribute to this condition. Our aim was to correlate the role of any early neonatal surgeries with low gestational age (GA) and birth weight (BW) on preterm babies as a risk factor on the progression of ROP.
methodsA prospective, cohort study conducted in a hospital in South India over 3 years, including 600 babies with GA <35 weeks and BW <2500 g. Babies were divided into Group A (ROP) and Group B (no ROP). Group A included A1 (severe ROP) and A2 (nonsevere ROP) based on early treatment of ROP classification. We compared various risk factors of ROP, specifically the association of any early neonatal surgery undergone by these babies, on progression of ROP. The Chi-square test, unpaired
results28.7% babies developed ROP, with 37.6% requiring treatment (Aggressive ROP in 2.1% of babies). Low GA and BW, longer duration on ventilator, respiratory distress syndrome, apnea of prematurity, Patent Ductus Arteriosus, sepsis, anemia, thrombocytopenia, history of blood transfusion, and history of early neonatal surgery under GA were associated with babies with ROP (
conclusionThe study predicts preterm babies undergoing early surgical interventions are at risk of progressing to severe ROP, hence warranting frequent follow-ups.
