Predictive Value of Modified Lung Ultrasound Score for Late Respiratory Diseases in Premature Infants: A Retrospective Cohort Analysis.

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
backgroundBronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a risk factor for late respiratory diseases (LRD). Lung ultrasound (LUS) is a useful, radiation-free tool for predicting BPD, but data linking LUS to late respiratory diseases is limited.
objectiveTo assess the predictive value of the modified lung ultrasound score (mLUS) for late respiratory diseases in premature infants.
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed data from 140 premature infants born before 32 weeks of gestation, treated for atelectasis due to LRD in our ICU from December 2023 to January 2025. LRD was defined as a composite endpoint with operational criteria: (1) Worsening BPD (need for ≥ 10% FiO
resultsMultivariable logistic regression (adjusted for gestational age, birth weight, mechanical ventilation duration) showed mLUS independently predicted LRD (adjusted OR: 1.25, 95% CI: 1.10-1.42, p < 0.001), as did traditional LUS (adjusted OR: 1.19, 95% CI: 1.04-1.36, p = 0.012). Model fit was good (Hosmer-Lemeshow χ
conclusionThe modified lung ultrasound score is significantly linked to advanced respiratory disease in premature infants, demonstrating important clinical relevance.
