The risk of developing severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia: evaluating associations with the nucleated red blood cell count at birth and volume of transfusions received.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: The nucleated red blood cell (NRBC) count at birth and blood transfusions received prior to 36 weeks postmenstrual age (PMA) are both associated with the risk of developing retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). We examined the association of these two factors with the risk of developing bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Methods: We retrospectively analyzed records of infants in five Intermountain Health Neonatal Intensive Care Units during the past four years who were born <32 weeks gestation, had an NRBC count at birth, and BPD scoring. We expressed NRBC counts as multiples of the control mean (MoM), with the control mean determined by the Results: The NRBC count of 896 infants was not independently associated with BPD risk. However, RBC transfusions received before 36 weeks were associated with BPD risk ( Conclusions: An elevated NRBC count at birth is not an independent risk factor for developing severe BPD, but the number and volume of RBC transfusions received are associated factors.
