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

objectiveTo examine the variability in neonatologists' screening and management practices of corticosteroid-induced adrenal insufficiency (adrenal suppression; AS) in the NICU. STUDY

designA cross-sectional survey was disseminated nationally via REDCap

resultOf the 82 respondents, only 56.1% screen infants for AS following prolonged systemic corticosteroid exposure, 46.3% after 2-4 weeks, 59.8% utilizing ACTH stimulation testing. Only 2.4% screen after prolonged high dose inhaled corticosteroids, reflecting uncertainty regarding their suppressive potential. Additionally, only 30.5% provide structured caregiver AS education at discharge.

conclusionVariable nationwide screening and management of adrenal suppression in the NICU underscores uncertainty and inconsistency in practice, revealing the need for clinical guidelines to optimize care.
