A review of neonatal attendances out of hours in a Dublin maternity hospital.
Article in Irish journal of medical science. 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
unlabelledBACKGROUND All neonates have free open access to the Baby Clinic at the maternity hospitals in Dublin for assessment of neonatal health issues. Through observation, however there is an increase in number of neonates attending the hospital outside the Baby Clinic hours.
aimsTo determine the number of neonates attending the acute neonatal service out of hours and to identify the percentage of neonates treated as true emergency.
methodsRetrospective chart review over a twelve-month period.
resultsSeven hundred and thirty-two neonates attended the hospital out of hours. The majority were diagnosed with gastrointestinal problems (228/31%), jaundice (101/13.7%), respiratory problems (82/11.1%) and skin disorders (79/10.7%). Only 106 (14.4%) attendances warranted admissions.
conclusionsA large number of neonatal attendances did not require acute assessment out of hours and were managed by reassurance and maternal education. A centralized phone-in-triage system was suggested to relieve the strain on the acute neonatal service.
