Extended CPAP or low-flow nasal cannula for intermittent hypoxaemia in preterm infants: a 24-hour randomised clinical trial.
Trial report in Archives of disease in childhood. Fetal and neonatal edition, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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.

Abstract
objectiveOptimal timing of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) cessation in preterm infants remains undetermined. We hypothesised that CPAP extension compared with weaning to low-flow nasal cannula (NC) reduces intermittent hypoxaemia (IH) and respiratory instability in preterm infants meeting criteria to discontinue CPAP.
designSingle-centre randomised clinical trial.
settingLevel 4 neonatal intensive care unit. PATIENTS: 36 infants <34 weeks' gestation receiving CPAP≤5 cmH
interventionsExtended CPAP was compared with weaning to low-flow NC (0.5 L/kg/min with a limit of 1.0 L/min) for 24 hours. OUTCOMES: The primary outcome was IH (number of episodes with SpO
resultsThe median (IQR) episodes of IH per 24-hour period was 20 (6-48) in the CPAP group and 76 (18-101) in the NC group (p=0.03). Infants continued on CPAP had less bradycardia, time with SpO
conclusionIn preterm infants meeting respiratory stability criteria for CPAP cessation, extended CPAP decreased IH, bradycardia and other hypoxaemia measures compared with weaning to low-flow NC during the 24-hour intervention. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT04792099.
