Thermal defense of extremely low gestational age newborns during resuscitation: exothermic mattresses vs polyethylene wrap.
Trial report in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 4 of them syntheses 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
objectiveThe purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of thermal warming mattresses compared with wrapping in a polyethylene sheet during resuscitation in extremely low gestational age newborns (ELGANs) in preventing admission hypothermia in the neonatal intensive care unit. STUDY
designPatients delivered between 24 and 28 weeks gestation and ≤1250 g were eligible for this prospective, randomized study. In the delivery room, the resuscitation team opened a sealed opaque envelope for treatment group assignment to either the wrap or the sodium acetate mattress group. Resuscitation followed protocols recommended by the Neonatal Resuscitation Program. The primary outcome for this study was comparison of axillary temperatures recorded at the time of neonatal intensive care unit admission between the two groups.
resultThirty-nine patients were enrolled in the study. The mattress group's mean admission temperature was 36.5±0.67, whereas the plastic wrap group's was 36.1±0.66 (P=0.0445).
conclusionThermal mattresses improved admission temperature for ELGANs over plastic wrap. Although both plastic wrap and thermal mattresses improve the thermal status of ELGANs, all current interventions fall short of truly protecting all these vulnerable patients from thermal stress.
