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

Objective: Respiratory distress syndrome threatens neonates' life. This study probed the predictive value of lung ultrasound scores combined with serum angiopoietin-like protein 4 (ANGPTL4) levels on neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS) severity and prognosis. Methods: The NRDS group (n = 115) and control group (n = 30) were established. In both groups, lung ultrasound scores and serum ANGPTL4 levels, lung ultrasound scores and serum ANGPTL4 levels of newborns with NRDS of different severity, the risk factors affecting the poor prognosis of NRDS neonates, and the value of serum ANGPTL4 levels combined with lung ultrasound scores in determining the severity and prognosis of newborns with NRDS were analyzed. Results: The NRDS groups had higher lung ultrasound scores and serum ANGPTL4 levels, and lower Apgar scores than the control group; lung ultrasound scores and serum ANGPTL4 levels were higher in the moderate and severe groups than in the mild group, and those were higher in the severe group than in the moderate group (all Conclusion: Lung ultrasound scores and serum ANGPTL4 levels are closely related to the severity and prognosis of NRDS neonates, and the combination of the two improves the assessed value of the severity and prognosis of NRDS neonates. The study provided a reference for the disease severity assessment of NRDS and the prediction of its prognosis.
