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

objectiveTo determine whether airway and parenchymal function identifies subgroups of infants born preterm according to the predominant pulmonary pathophysiology, and whether these subgroups have different risks for respiratory disease during infancy. STUDY

designWe prospectively enrolled a cohort of 125 infants born preterm with planned clinical follow-up after neonatal intensive care unit discharge. The study included monthly questionnaires for wheeze and visits to a physician or care provider for any respiratory illness. In addition, infant lung function testing near 5 months corrected-age included measures of airways and parenchymal function using forced expiratory flows, alveolar volume (V

resultsWe identified 4 pulmonary physiologic phenotypes that distinguished participants with predominantly decreased airway and/or parenchymal function. Although the worst physiologic phenotypes were associated with a lower gestational age at birth, these phenotypes had a better predictive value than gestational age, sex, and diagnosis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia for increased respiratory morbidity during infancy (area under the curve = 0.71 vs 0.63 for respiratory illness and 0.69 vs 0.63 for wheeze).

conclusionsPhysiologic pulmonary phenotypes of infants born preterm were associated with differential risks for respiratory morbidities as infants, which may identify heterogeneous risks for long-term respiratory sequelae to individualize therapeutic strategies.
