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

To date, there is no clear evidence supporting the use of caffeine therapy in bronchiolitis-related apnea in pediatric intensive care units. Generalizing the approach for all bronchiolitis cases could be behind this limitation of the evidence. Here, we report a successful use of caffeine citrate for a neonate with bronchiolitis-related apnea. Understanding the limitations of case reports, we think being a neonate diagnosed with bronchiolitis-related apnea without respiratory distress, on top of a prematurity background, might be the key characteristic for this successful use.
