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

This study aimed to identify the risk factors associated with intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in extremely preterm infants (EPIs), focusing on early-stage prediction to improve clinical outcomes. A retrospective cohort study was conducted at Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center, including 189 EPIs born between January 2019 and December 2023. Infants were categorized into IVH and non-IVH groups based on head ultrasound findings. Risk factors were assessed using univariate and multivariate analyses, and a predictive model for IVH was developed. Of the 189 EPIs, 80 (42.3%) developed IVH, with 26 (13.8%) experiencing severe IVH. Gestational age was identified as a significant protective factor (OR = 0.565, p = 0.023), while invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) was a key risk factor (OR = 2.718, p = 0.012). The predictive model demonstrated good performance, with an AUC of 0.753 (95% CI: 0.681-0.825). Gestational age and IMV are critical factors in the development of IVH in EPIs. Early identification of high-risk infants based on these factors can aid in timely interventions to reduce IVH incidence and improve outcomes.
