1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 compare hypoglycemia and the other early neonatal morbidities (from birth till hospital discharge) of late preterm babies born small for gestational age (LP SGA) with their appropriate for age (LP AGA) counterparts.

methodsLP SGA and LP AGA, as defined by Fenton charts, were prospectively followed-up to assess development of predefined morbidities, mortality and readmission rates at one month. All live inborn late preterm babies (34

resultsLP SGA babies (n = 72) as compared to LP AGA babies (n = 166) were at higher risk for developing at least one predefined neonatal morbidity before hospital discharge [RR 1.93 (1.6-2.3; p < 0.001)]. These included hypoglycemia, hypothermia, respiratory morbidity needing support, jaundice needing treatment, feeding difficulties, birth asphyxia, and sepsis; besides, significant rates of readmissions and duration of hospital stay.

conclusionsBeing born small for gestation age acts an additional jeopardizing factor in late preterm babies.
