Impact of neonatologist availability on preterm survival without morbidities.
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 3 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
objectivesWe assessed birth hospital level and neonatal outcomes within a model of regionalization featuring neonatologists at all levels of care, including well-baby nurseries without an accompanying neonatal intensive care unit.
methodsData were analyzed by NY State adaptation of American Academy of Pediatrics defined levels of care; n = 998, 23-30 weeks gestational age, 400-1250 g birth weight, and admitted to the regional center (2006-2015). Primary outcomes were survival, neurologic survival, and intact survival.
resultsLevel III hospitals transferred 82% of neonates ≥24 h of life compared to ≤2% at Level I or II hospitals (p < 0.05). Primary outcomes were equivalent for Levels I vs. II born neonates with similar postnatal age at transfer and similar to inborn rates (Levels I and II vs. IV).
conclusionsWhen transferred within 24 h, Levels I or II born infants had equivalent outcomes to inborn Level IV infants in a model of neonatologist availability at all deliveries.
