Maternal and neonatal characteristics of extremely low birth weight infants who die in the first day of life.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveTo determine changes over time in the characteristics of early extremely low birth weight non-survivors (E-ELBW-NS), maternal characteristics and perinatal management, and the documentation of perinatal consultations. STUDY
designWe conducted a chart review of infants <750 g who died within 24 h divided into two epochs: 1 January 1995 to 31 December 1999 and 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2005. Maternal and neonatal characteristics, delivery room resuscitation, post-resuscitation care, and documentation of resuscitation and perinatal counseling were examined.
resultA total of 138 infants met inclusion criteria. During Epoch 2, there was an increase in black, small for gestational age infants and prior maternal preterm delivery, and decreased incidences of tocolysis and chorioamnionitis. Also, a trend toward more hemolysis elevated liver enzymes and low platelet syndrome and decreased prenatal care existed. Perinatal consultations increased in both number and quality with time.
conclusionThere has been a shift in racial distribution toward more black infants in the second epoch perhaps reflecting disparities in care. Otherwise, demographics and management of E-ELBW-NS have changed minimally. There has been a significant improvement in the documentation of perinatal consultations.
