Thoracic fluid content by electric bioimpedance correlates with respiratory distress in newborns.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05538780 (Thoracic Fluid Content Using Electrical Cardiometry Versus Lung Ultrasound in the Diagnosis of Transient Tachypnea of Newborn), which is not on this map. Cited by 16 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.

Abstract
objectiveThe objective of the study was to compare thoracic fluid content (TFC) between newborn infants with and without respiratory distress. We tested the hypothesis that TFC would be higher in infants with respiratory distress. STUDY
designA total of 96 newborn infants, gestational age 37.9 (2.6) weeks, were enrolled at birth. TFC by electrical bioimpedance was recorded within 3 h after birth (TFC1) and at 24 h of life (TFC2).
resultsTFC1 was higher in infants with respiratory distress at birth (76.8 (24.9) versus 61.6 (16.1) 1 KOhm
conclusionTFC by electric bioimpedance independently correlated with the presence of respiratory distress at birth and at 24 h of life in late preterm and term newborn infants.
