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

Objective: Fluid balance and weight changes in the early postnatal period are critical indicators of neonatal adaptation and have been implicated in the development of complications in preterm infants. However, the relationship between early weight changes and the risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the association between weight change by the third day of life and the subsequent risk of BPD in preterm infants. Study Design: A retrospective cohort study included preterm infants <32 weeks gestation or <1,500 g birth weight. Logistic regression was used to assess the association between weight change by day 3 (percentage change from birth weight) and BPD. Results: Among 453 infants, 97.4% ( Conclusion: Weight loss byday 3 is associated with a lower BPD risk in preterm infants. The day 3 weight change is a noninvasive and simple early predictor of BPD, and optimizing early fluid management to guide appropriate weight changes may help reduce BPD incidence.
