Mode of delivery and antenatal steroids and their association with survival and severe intraventricular hemorrhage in very low birth weight infants.
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 6 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
objectiveTo determine whether CS delivery and receipt of antenatal steroids (ANS) in vertex-presenting singletons with a gestational age (GA) between 24 and 30 weeks is associated with improved survival and improved severe intraventricular hemorrhage (sIVH)-free survival. STUDY
designMulticenter cohort, retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data. Vertex-presenting singletons newborns with GA 24 to 30 weeks, birth weight between 500 and 1500 g, without major congenital malformations, born between 2001 and 2011 at Neocosur centers were included.
resultsFour thousand three hundred and eighty-six infants fulfilled inclusion criteria: 45.8% were delivered vaginally and 54.2% by cesarean section (CS). Newborns delivered vaginally received less ANS, had lower GA, Apgar scores and a lower incidence of survival and sIVH-free survival (P<0.001). Newborns with better survival were those with ANS, independent of mode of delivery. At 24 to 25 weeks GA, increased survival and sIVH-free survival were associated with ANS and CS delivery, compared with those who received ANS and delivered vaginally.
conclusionsAmong vertex-presenting singletons with GA 24 to 30 weeks, better survival and IVH-free survival were associated with ANS, independent of mode of delivery. In infants at 24 to 25 weeks gestation the combination of ANS/CS was associated with improvement in both outcomes.
