Marked variation in delivery room management in very preterm infants.
Article in Resuscitation, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
backgroundThe International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) and U.K. Resuscitation Council (UKRC) updated guidance on newborn resuscitation in late 2010.
objectivesTo describe delivery room (DR) practice in stabilisation following very preterm birth (<32 weeks gestation) in the U.K.
methodsWe emailed a national survey of current DR stabilisation practice of very preterm infants to all U.K. delivery units and conducted telephone follow-up calls.
resultsWe obtained 197 responses from 199 units (99%) and complete data from 186 units. Tertiary units administered surfactant in the DR (93% vs. 78%, P=0.01), instituted DR CPAP (77% vs. 50%, P=0.0007), provided PEEP in the delivery room (91% vs. 69%, P=0.0008), and started resuscitation in air or blended oxygen (91% vs. 78%, P=0.04) more often than non-tertiary units. Routine out of hours consultant attendance at very preterm birth was more common in tertiary units (82% vs. 55%, P=0.0005).
conclusionsMarked variation in DR stabilisation practice of very preterm infants persisted one year after the publication of revised UKRC guidance. Delivery room care provided in non-tertiary units was less consistent with current international guidance.
