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

objectiveThis study aimed to determine the influence of nosocomial bacterial and viral infections of preterm very low birth weight (VLBW) infants on neurodevelopmental outcome and on rehospitalization rates during the first two years of life. STUDY

designRetrospective single-center cohort study including preterm infant born between 2010 and 2018 and followed until two years of age corrected for prematurity (Bayley scales).

resultsOf 620 study infants 418 without neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI). were compared to 202 infants with NDI. Single or multiple nosocomial infections were not risk factors for NDI in a multivariate logistic regression model checked for multicollinearity. Infants with NDI were of younger gestational age, had lower birth weights and higher rates of neonatal complications (ileus, periventricular leukomalacia, and bronchopulmonary dysplasia). Nosocomial infection were also not risk factors for rehospitalizations by infectious diseases.

conclusionsNosocomial infections did not significantly influence NDI and rehospitalization rates in preterm VLBW infants. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: The study was registered at "Deutsches Register Klinischer Studien" DRKS00019000.
