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 assess whether early hypernatremia (HN) and/or hyperglycemia (HG) in the first postnatal week are associated with adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes in extremely preterm (EP; <28 weeks) infants. STUDY

designThis was a single-center retrospective cohort study. HN is defined as serum sodium > 145 mmol/L and HG as blood glucose > 10 mmol/L within days 0-7. Infants were classified into HN, HG, or combined HN + HG groups; EP infants without HN/HG served as controls. This study included 748 EP infants: 374 with HN and/or HG and 374 controls. The primary outcome was an adverse neurodevelopmental outcome at 2 years' corrected age.

resultsOn adjusted analyses, HN, HG and HN + HG were not associated with moderate-to-severe developmental impairment. Moderate-to-severe HN group showed a lower odds of moderate-to-severe developmental impairment than controls (18.3% vs 21.5%; adjusted OR 0.39, 95% CI 0.15-0.99; p = 0.047).

conclusionsEarly hypernatremia and/or hyperglycemia were not associated with adverse neurodevelopment at 2 years' corrected age.
