Development and validation of the Prognostic Respiratory Intensity Scoring Metric (PRISM).
Article in BMC pediatrics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
aimsInvasive respiratory interventions save infant lives, yet have negative consequences for their health and neurodevelopment. Here we present the Prognostic Respiratory Intensity Scoring Metric (PRISM) as an accurate, summative tool of respiratory support needs in hospitalized neonates well suited for predicting an infant’s future neurodevelopmental outcomes.
methods218 (112 male) infants were included in this study. We trained a classification and regression tree model using PRISM scores to classify respiratory diagnoses, and compared performance to the Neonatal Sequential Organ Failure Assessment Respiratory subscore (nSOFA-r).
resultsPRISM outperforms the nSOFA-r in classifying infants with respiratory distress syndrome (PRISM AUC = 0.71, nSOFA-r AUC = 0.64) and chronic lung disease (PRISM AUC = 0.86, nSOFA-r AUC = 0.76). PRISM had significant associations with an infant’s length of hospital stay (β = 0.03 (95% CI [0.02, 0.03], p < 0.001) and gestational age (β = -0.03 (95% CI [-0.03, -0.02], p < 0.001). PRISM successfully identifies which infants will develop an intraventricular hemorrhage (83% accuracy) and retinopathy of prematurity (95% accuracy).
interpretationPRISM is a useful tool for clinicians and researchers alike to summarize the invasive nature of neonatal respiratory support.
