Influence of perinatal asphyxia on neurologic outcome: consequences for family practice accoucheurs.
Article in Canadian family physician Medecin de famille canadien, 1990. 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
Inappropriate concern with perinatal asphyxia, based on false notions about causes, may be behind the decision of some family physicians to avoid obstetrics. Asphyxia can cause motor or mental deficits, but only if the insult was severe and prolonged (when there will be evidence of hypoxia in systems other than the CNS). Even abnormal CNS signs do not necessarily reflect clinically important neurologic damage. Intrapartum care has much less impact on neonatal outcome than previously believed, and most bad outcomes have their origins in events occuring long before the onset of labour and outside the detection capabilities of current technology. Nevertheless, family physicians require resuscitation skills because vigorous, effective management of even very hypoxic neonates can improve and normalize outcome.
