Underimmunization at discharge from the neonatal intensive care unit.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectiveThe objectives of this study are to determine immunization rates at discharge from the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) among infants 2 months of age and above and to evaluate risk factors for underimmunization. STUDY
designA retrospective cohort study was performed for infants in six NICUs in the Northern California Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program. Immunization status at discharge was determined for all infants discharged on or after age 60 days. Logistic regression was used to identify risk factors for underimmunization at the time of discharge.
resultOf 668 infants discharged on or after age 60 days from the NICU, 51% were up-to-date for routine immunizations. Twenty-seven percent of infants had received no vaccines. Factors associated with higher immunization rates at discharge include history of mechanical ventilation, congenital heart disease and a diagnosis of apnea or bronchopulmonary dysplasia during the NICU stay, whereas surgery was associated with lower immunization rates.
conclusionA significant proportion of infants discharged on or after 2 months of age in the NICU in this health system was unimmunized or underimmunized at discharge. Further efforts should be made to improve immunization rates prior to discharge.
