Sustained lung inflation in late preterm infants: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report 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 13 papers, 7 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
objectiveTo assess the need for respiratory support in late preterm infants treated with sustained lung inflation (SLI) at birth. STUDY
designIn this controlled trial, we randomly assigned infants born at 34(+0) to 36(+6) weeks of gestation to receive SLI (25 cmH2O for 15 s) at birth, followed by continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or assistance according to the recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics. The primary outcome was the need for any type of respiratory support. The secondary outcomes included neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission for respiratory distress and length of stay. The risk ratios (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of the outcomes were calculated for the SLI group in reference to the control group.
resultsA total of 185 infants were enrolled: 93 in the SLI group and 92 in the control group. No difference was found in the need for any type of respiratory support between the infants treated with SLI and the control group (10.6 vs 8.7%, RR 1.24, 95% CI 0.51 to 2.99). The NICU admission for respiratory distress and the length of stay did not differ between the groups.
conclusionProviding SLI at birth in late preterm infants does not affect their need for respiratory support.
