Pulse oximetry screening for critical congenital heart disease in the neonatal intensive care unit.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectivePulse oximetry screening (POS) is an effective tool to detect critical congenital heart disease (CCHD) in asymptomatic term infants, but its value in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) requires further clarification. STUDY
designA retrospective review of 1005 babies without previously diagnosed CCHD admitted to a level III NICU was performed to assess the risk for missed CCHD and performance of POS.
resultOf the 1005 NICU patients, 812 had documented POS and none failed POS. In 812 patients, 547 had delayed POS because of the use of supplemental oxygen. In 259/812 patients, POS was delayed until the baby was >2 weeks old. CCHD was excluded by echocardiography, irrespective of POS, in 287/1005 patients.
conclusionPOS can be performed in the NICU with minimal adverse effects. However, in many NICU patients CCHD is confirmed or excluded before POS, and POS will frequently be performed after CCHD would have been expected to become symptomatic.
