Umbilical cord milking for neonates who are depressed at birth: a randomized trial of feasibility.
Trial report 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 18 papers, 2 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 evaluate the feasibility and safety of umbilical cord milking (UCM) in neonates who are depressed at birth. STUDY
designThis is a quasi-randomized, non-blinded, controlled trial on infants (≥35 weeks) who were depressed at birth. UCM (cord milked three times) was performed during the even months and the neonates born during the odd months were in the control group. Primary outcome was feasibility and safety.
resultsA total of 101 infants were enrolled (50 UCM group and 51 control group) between January 2015 and October 2016. UCM was performed in 95% of infants (59/62) who qualified to receive UCM. There were no significant differences in resuscitation delay, resuscitation efforts, and short-term outcomes between the two groups.
conclusionsUCM is feasible for term and late preterm infants who are depressed at birth. A larger clinical trial is needed to evaluate long-term benefits of UCM in neonates with HIE.
