Profile and risk factors of sight-threatening retinopathy of prematurity: Experience from SNCU in North 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 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundThis research aimed to identify the clinical profile and risk factors of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) among "at-risk" newborns treated at a sick newborn care unit (SNCU) located at high altitude in North India, with the intention of contributing to formulate regional and national ROP screening guidelines. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn a prospective observational study from 2021 to 2022, outborn and inborn babies eligible for ROP screening were screened.
resultsTotal 39/122 screened neonates had laser for Type 1 ROP, and 22/39 (56.4%) had aggressive ROP (AROP). The average birth weight (BW) was 1803.87 g, and the average gestational age was 34 weeks. Respiratory distress, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, sepsis, and apnea were present in 57.3%, 13%, 52.5%, and 25.4%, respectively. Sight-threatening ROP was present in 50% below 28
conclusionWith similar infrastructure and work force shortage in most SNCUs, these findings can be generalized. The burden of Type 1 and AROP is increasing, as seen in higher gestation and BWs. This needs revision of ROP screening criteria at local and national level. It is crucial to emphasize on the importance of pediatrician and ophthalmologist collaboration, early ROP screening, diagnosis, and treatment to stop disease progression to severe ROP.
