Transient Dip in Head Circumference Growth Trajectories Associated With Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Administration in Very Preterm Infants.

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
aimIn preterm infants, decreasing head circumference (HC) percentiles have been linked to neurodevelopmental impairment. Devices for administering continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) may alter skull morphology. We investigated the impact of sequentially administered CPAP and high-flow nasal cannula on HC percentiles.
methodsIn this retrospective single-institution study of infants < 1500 g birthweight and < 30 weeks gestational age born 2019-2020 (syndromes and intraventricular haemorrhage ≥ grade 2 excluded), routine HC measurements were translated into HC percentiles. We compared data at birth, after CPAP initiation, after partial and complete discontinuation of CPAP, and at discharge.
resultsThe study included 137 infants (median [interquartile range] gestational age 27
conclusionCPAP was associated with a transient decline of HC percentiles, with gradual recovery after CPAP discontinuation.
