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

objectivesBronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is associated with poor cognition. The association between BPD severity and neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD) has not been explored. We hypothesized increasing BPD severity is associated with increased risk of NDD. STUDY

designWe included infants born <32 weeks' gestation and birth weight <1500 g from 2015 to 2020 and excluded patients lost to follow-up or deceased before three years old. 650 patients were analyzed. BPD severity was defined as respiratory support at 36 weeks postmenstrual age. Risk factors of BPD were assessed. The primary outcome was composite NDD, including autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, cerebral palsy, and/or learning disorders. Multiple logistic regression analyzed the association between BPD severity and outcomes, accounting for confounders.

resultsIncreased BPD severity showed increased risk of NDD (p < 0.01). In a reduced model, BPD severity remained significant (p = 0.037). Tracheostomy was a risk factor for NDD (p = 0.004).

conclusionsBPD severity should prompt suspicion for future NDD.
