Neonatal morbidity after documented fetal lung maturity in late preterm and early term infants.
Article in American journal of obstetrics and gynecology, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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
objectiveFetal lung maturity often is used as the sole criterion that late preterm infants are ready for postnatal life. We therefore tested the hypothesis that fetal lung maturity testing does not predict the absence of morbidity in late preterm infants. STUDY
designWe performed a retrospective cohort study to examine 152 infants who were born in the late preterm (34 0/7 to 36 6/7 weeks) and early term (37 0/7 to 38 6/7 weeks) periods after mature fetal lung indices and compared them with 262 infants who were born at ≥39 weeks' gestation and who were matched by mode of delivery.
resultsDespite documented fetal lung maturity, infants who were born at <39 weeks had significantly higher rates of neonatal morbidities compared with infants who were born at ≥39 weeks' gestation. After adjustment for significant covariates, we found that infants who were born at <39 weeks' gestation had an increased risk of composite adverse outcome (odds ratio, 3.66; 95% confidence interval, 1.48-9.09; P < .01).
conclusionFetal lung maturity testing is insufficient to determine an infant's readiness for postnatal life.
