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

Background: Comparison and validation of the predictive value of three diagnostic criteria for bronchopulmonary dysplasia for respiratory prognosis of preterm infants with gestational age <32 weeks. Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted to collect clinical data of 397 preterm infants. On the basis of the follow-up results, the enrolled population was divided into a respiratory adverse outcome group and a normal outcome group. The 2001 NICHD, the 2018 NICHD, and the 2019 NRN criteria were used to diagnose and grade BPD in preterm infants. The dataset was randomly divided, with 70% used for model training and 30% used for model validation. The extreme gradient boosting machine learning algorithm was used for model training. Furthermore, the SHapley additive exPlanation analysis method was utilized to visually interpret the results of the machine learning model. Results: A total of 397 preterm infants were included. In the training set, prediction models based on the 2001 NICHD, 2018 NICHD, and 2019 NRN criteria achieved AUC values of 0.747, 0.804, and 0.789, with corresponding accuracies of 0.740, 0.765, and 0.765. In the test set, the respective AUC values were 0.694, 0.747, and 0.752, and accuracies were 0.750, 0.800, and 0.750. Based on the DeLong's method, comparisons of ROC curves between the training and test sets revealed that both the 2018 NICHD and 2019 NRN criteria demonstrated significantly higher AUC than the 2001 NICHD criteria (training set: Conclusions: Both the 2018 NICHD and 2019 NRN criteria for BPD show better and similar predictive values for respiratory adverse outcomes in preterm infants, and both are superior to the 2001 NICHD criteria. The top two factors affecting the respiratory prognosis of preterm infants are the severity of BPD and early invasive mechanical ventilation.
