Neonatal Outcomes of Very Low Birth Weight Infants in Korean Neonatal Network from 2013 to 2016.
Article in Journal of Korean medical science, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 33 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
backgroundThis study was performed to determine survival and morbidity rates in very low birth weight infants (VLBWIs) in the Korean Neonatal Network (KNN), and to compare neonatal outcomes with those in other countries.
methodsData were collected for 8,269 VLBWIs with gestational age (GA) ≥ 22 weeks who were born between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2016, and admitted to the neonatal intensive care units of the KNN.
resultsThe survival rate of all VLBWIs and of infants with GA 22-23, 24-25, 26-27, 28-29, 30-32, and > 32 weeks were 86% (total), 33%, 65%, 84%, 94%, 97%, and 98%, respectively. The bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) rates of all VLBWIs and of infants with GA 22-23, 24-25, 26-27, 28-29, 30-32, and > 32 weeks were 30% (total), 88%, 64%, 47%, 26%, 14%, and 5%, respectively. The intraventricular hemorrhage rates (≥ grade III) of all VLBWIs and of infants with GA 22-23, 24-25, 26-27, 28-29, 30-32, and > 32 weeks were 10% (total), 45%, 27%, 12%, 5%, 2%, and 1%, respectively. In an international comparison, the survival rate of VLBWIs with GA 24-27 weeks in KNN was lower, and the BPD rate of VLBWIs in the KNN was higher than that of the neonatal networks of other countries.
conclusionDespite overall improvements in neonatal outcomes, the survival and morbidity rates of more immature infants with GA 22-27 weeks need further improvement. Therefore, it would be necessary to develop more optimal treatment strategies and perform more active quality improvement to further improve neonatal outcomes of VLBWIs in Korea.
