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.
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: To develop a decision tree model using clinical risk factors to predict massive pulmonary hemorrhage (MPH) and MPH-related mortality in extremely low birth weight infants (ELBWIs). Method: We retrospectively analyzed data from a national multicenter prospective web-based registry using machine learning algorithms with the C5.0 decision tree model to develop a clinical prediction rule for MPH and MPH-related mortality in ELBWIs admitted to participating neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) from January 2013 to December 2020. This C5.0 model was developed through data preprocessing, attribute selection based on splitting criteria, and pruning techniques to minimize overfitting. Results: A total of 5,752 infants were included. Of them, MPH occurred in 664 (11.5%) infants. Among infants with MPH, 136 (20.5%) infants died due to MPH. The decision tree model for MPH identified "gestational age (GA) ≤ 25 Conclusions: We developed a C5.0 decision tree model using clinical risk factors to predict MPH and MPH-related mortality in ELBWIs, enabling early identification of high-risk infants and facilitating timely interventions to improve neonatal outcomes. This decision-based risk stratification tool requires additional verification using larger multicenter cohorts to evaluate its practical applicability and clinical effectiveness before routine clinical implementation in NICUs.
