Umbilical cord milking at birth for term newborns with acidosis: neonatal outcomes.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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 if umbilical cord milking is detrimental in compromised term/near-term infants. STUDY
designA retrospective analysis of infants with abnormal cord gases (cord arterial or venous pH of ≤ 7.1 or base deficit > -12). We collected maternal risk factors, cord management, birth, and neonatal outcomes during hospitalization.
resultWe found 157 infants who met the criteria for abnormal cord gases. Thirty-six of those had umbilical cord milking at delivery. There was no significant difference in neonatal outcomes, but fewer infants in the cord milking group needed resuscitation (38 vs. 56%, p = 0.07) and ongoing respiratory support (19 vs. 31%, p = 0.16) compared to the immediate clamping group.
conclusionsWhile not significant, infants who received cord milking at birth needed less resuscitation and ongoing respiratory support. This study suggests that umbilical cord milking appears to be a safe therapy when acidosis is present and when resuscitation is needed.
