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

Introduction: Extremely premature infants (EPIs) are at significant risk for early mortality and severe intraventricular hemorrhage. This study aimed to investigate the risk factors associated with early mortality and severe intraventricular hemorrhage in EPIs with a gestational age of less than 28 weeks and to evaluate the predictive value of these risk factors in determining adverse outcomes. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data from EPIs admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Hubei Province between January 2019 and December 2024. Infants were categorized into two groups based on their early outcomes: an adverse outcome group ( Results: This study revealed that the maximum vasoactive-inotropic score (Max VIS) ( Conclusion: Elevated Max VIS, increased MCA-RI, vaginal delivery, and small gestational age are independent risk factors for early mortality and severe intraventricular hemorrhage in EPIs. Each is a valuable predictor of adverse outcomes, and their combination demonstrates the highest predictive value, providing significant clinical reference for the early management of these high-risk neonates.
