Umbilical cord milking reduces the risk of intraventricular hemorrhage in preterm infants born before 32 weeks of gestation.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectiveIntraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is a common complication in extremely preterm infants. We aimed to demonstrate that umbilical cord milking (UCM) would reduce the incidence of IVH in this at risk population. STUDY
designWe compared the incidence of IVH in a prospective cohort of consecutively born preterm infants <32 weeks' gestation receiving UCM (n = 33) with a historical cohort that underwent immediate cord clamping (ICC) (n = 36).
resultsNo significant differences regarding perinatal characteristics were present between both groups except for chorioamnionitis and preterm rupture of membranes which were more frequent in the UCM group. There was a significant reduction in the incidence of IVH in the UCM group as compared to the ICC group (UCM vs. ICC = 12 vs. 33%, p = 0.037; OR = 0.276 (95% CI 0.079-0.967; p = 0.033; NNT = 4.7) and a reduction in the number of transfusions (UCM vs. ICC = 56 vs. 30%, p = 0.035; OR = 0.348 (0.129-0.938; p = 0.033; NNT = 3.8). UCM was safe for mothers (similar decrease in maternal hemoglobin) and offspring.
conclusionUCM significantly reduced the incidence of IVH in preterm infants < 32 weeks' gestation without associated complications for mother or offspring.
