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

Severe pulmonary diseases, including atelectasis, pneumonia, and meconium aspiration syndrome, are major causes of neonatal respiratory distress, weaning difficulties, ventilator or oxygen dependence, prolonged oxygen requirements, extended hospitalization, and poor prognosis. The lack of simple and effective treatment strategies seriously endangers the survival and health of newborns, particularly premature infants. Recent advances in lung ultrasound (LUS) technology have made LUS-guided non-fiberobronchoscopic bronchoalveolar lavage (NFB-BAL) a promising solution. This approach addresses the limitations of conventional BAL in neonates by enabling accurate diagnosis, precise lesion localization, and dynamic procedural monitoring, hence reducing complications. Based on international expert consensus, these guidelines were developed to improve knowledge and promote the application of this technology and enhance operational standardization to ensure its effectiveness and safety. These guidelines contain 17 recommendations on 13 key clinical issues for reference and implementation in clinical practice. The wide application of these guidelines is expected to help significantly improve the prognosis of critically ill newborns with atelectatic pulmonary diseases.
