Chronic Lung Disease: A Study Based on the National Database of Specified Chronic Pediatric Diseases of Japan.

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
backgroundChronic lung disease (CLD), commonly recognized as bronchopulmonary dysplasia and primarily associated with prematurity and low birth weight, is designated as a specified chronic pediatric disease in Japan. However, the characteristics of children registered in the National Database of Specified Chronic Pediatric Diseases have not been fully elucidated.
methodsWith approval from the Ethics Committee of Saitama Medical Center, Saitama Medical University, and the Third-Party Data Provision Office for Patients with Intractable Diseases, we analyzed data from Medical Certificates of Specific Chronic Pediatric Diseases for patients with CLD registered between January 2015 and March 2023.
resultsA total of 1737 patients with CLD were identified. Extremely preterm infants and term infants accounted for 47% and 24% of cases, respectively, with marked regional variation in gestational age distribution. Among 410 registered term infants, neurological disorders (43%) and chromosomal abnormalities (19%) were the most common underlying conditions. With increasing age, the proportion of extremely preterm infants decreased, whereas that of term infants increased. In a subgroup analysis of 805 extremely preterm infants, invasive mechanical ventilation at 36 weeks' postmenstrual age was independently associated with persistent registration within the chronic disease support program (odds ratio 3.16, 95% CI 1.81-5.52; p < 0.001).
conclusionsThis nationwide registry study demonstrates that registry-defined CLD in Japan represents a heterogeneous population, including a substantial number of term infants with diverse comorbidities. Among extremely preterm infants, the need for invasive respiratory support at 36 weeks' postmenstrual age was associated with persistent registration within the chronic disease support program, underscoring the importance of optimizing long-term management strategies.
