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

Background: Early identification of preterm infants at risk for invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) enables timely respiratory support and may reduce ventilation-related harm. Objective: To develop and internally validate a parsimonious prediction model for IMV within 72 h after birth. Methods: We conducted a single-center retrospective cohort study (July 2023-June 2024) including 1,059 preterm infants admitted within 72 h of life and randomly split them into training ( Results: In the validation set, the model achieved an AUC of 0.816; at the optimal probability threshold (0.224), sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy were 0.613, 0.914, and 0.855, respectively. Calibration was good (Brier score 0.096; Hosmer-Lemeshow Conclusion: A three-factor model based on perinatal and early neonatal indicators provides accurate, well-calibrated prediction of IMV within 72 h and is readily implementable for bedside risk stratification; external validation is warranted.
