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

Background: Extremely preterm infants (EPIs) often require advanced respiratory support to survive, and one such intervention is the heated, humidified, high-flow nasal cannula (HHHFNC). While the use of this cannula in EPIs has been studied, the relationship between its use and the length of hospital stay is an important yet unexplored research area that we aim to investigate in this study. Methods: In a quantitative retrospective cohort study, data were extracted from an electronic database. The study included all EPIs younger than 28 weeks of gestational age admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit of a tertiary hospital from January 1, 2020, to December 31, 2022. The descriptive analysis was conducted to describe each infant's demographic, maternal, and neonatal characteristics. A chi-squared test was also conducted, and a Results: The findings suggest that infants who receive an HHHFNC have a longer hospital stay than those who do not. Specifically, infants who did not receive a cannula spent 42.5 days on average in the hospital, compared with 99 days among those who received it, with a significant Conclusion: Infants receiving a cannula stay in hospital on average for twice as long as those who do not. However, to reduce the possibility of bias and produce more reliable results, we advise conducting clinical trials or prospective studies in future research.
