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

The results of a survey of twenty-four neonatal units in the United Kingdom and Ireland are presented. A structured ten-item questionnaire was used, and demonstrated the variation in how infants with RS are diagnosed and managed. Notably, the survey revealed that a minority of infants were diagnosed antenatally. There were significant discrepancies in diagnostic criteria used and 79% of the units referred the patients to tertiary services. A preference for minimally invasive approaches to managing upper airway obstruction, such as a trial of prone positioning before progressing to a nasopharyngeal airway, was reported by 96% of the centers. A narrative review was undertaken which discusses the current practices for diagnosis and early management of Robin sequence (RS). The challenges of antenatal diagnosis, strategies to enhance outcomes through early detection and controversies surrounding the management of neonatal upper airway obstruction associated with RS are included. The results of the survey and our comprehensive review of the literature emphasize that there remains uncertainty regarding the best approach to treating Robin sequence.
