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

objectivesThe aim of this study was to examine the success rate of less invasive surfactant administration (LISA), to identify early predictive factors for the outcome of LISA, and to compare neonatal outcomes between the LISA failure group and the group of infants who were successfully treated with LISA.

designA retrospective cohort study. PATIENTS: Infants born at less than 33 weeks of gestation (n = 158) and treated with LISA for respiratory distress syndrome.

resultsLISA was successful in 86 cases (54.4%); 72 preterm infants (45.6%) needed additional surfactant therapy and/or mechanical ventilation in the first 72 h (LISA failure). In a multivariate logistic regression analysis, six independent predictors of LISA success were identified: core temperature at the time of admission (adjusted odds ratio (OR): 3.56), dose of poractant alfa (<200 mg/kg; adjusted OR: 0.254), elevated C-reactive protein (>10 mg/L) at 24 h of life (adjusted OR: 0.28), highest respiratory severity score (RSS) during the first hour of life or at the time of LISA (adjusted OR: 0.463), maternal age (adjusted OR: 0.923), and birth weight (adjusted OR: 1.003). The receiver operating curve created by using the identified factors indicates good predictive power with an area under the curve of 0.85. LISA failure was associated with a substantially higher risk of complications.

conclusionLISA success can be predicted by variables available before the intervention. Failure of LISA is relatively frequent event in very preterm infants and is associated with adverse outcomes. Prevention of hypothermia during early stabilization and appropriate dosing of surfactant may increase LISA success rates and improve patient outcome.
