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

objectiveIdentify characteristics associated with death or tracheostomy (D/T) in preterm infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) predominantly managed with non-invasive respiratory support prior to 36 weeks postmenstrual age (PMA). STUDY

designRetrospective cohort study at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia of 134 infants meeting inclusion criteria between 2010 and 2017. Various clinical characteristics were considered as predictor variables of the primary outcome, D/T; those associated at p < 0.10 in bivariable logistic regression were evaluated in multivariable models.

resultsTwenty-one (16%) infants had D/T. Treatment with pulmonary vasodilators and the presence of pulmonary hypertension (PH) on echocardiogram at 36 weeks PMA were associated with D/T in bivariable analyses. Pulmonary vasodilator use remained statistically significant in adjusted multivariable models.

conclusionsWe identified a strong association between PH and D/T in this cohort. Our findings emphasize the importance of specialized BPD management that includes early identification of PH in this high-risk population.
