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

We encountered a male infant with extremely low birth weight born at 22 weeks and 0 days of gestational age in the toilet at home. He was resuscitated with chest compression and bag-valve-mask ventilation by the emergency medical service crew and was transported to our institution 50 minutes after birth. The patient was intubated and given intratracheal artificial surfactant after admission. After he recovered from the initial hypotensive phase, we maintained the blood pressure at an appropriate level using nitroglycerin to avoid cerebral overcirculation. He was discharged home at 170 days of life with no signs of intraventricular hemorrhage or periventricular leukomalacia. His overall developmental quotient at one year and seven months of corrected age was 104, and he showed no apparent developmental delay. This case demonstrates that appropriate medical management can save the lives of extremely preterm infants born outside medical institutions.
