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

Noninvasive ventilation for preterm infants at birth has been recommended and universally adopted. The umbilical cord is often clamped immediately in order to provide the support the infant needs for stabilization. However, recent scientific data from experimental studies that involve animals in transition and human studies using physiological measurements at birth have increased awareness as to how little we know about how these interventions interact and integrate with the infant's changing physiology. It has become clear that in apneic infants the larynx is closed immediately after birth, which can completely negate the effect of noninvasive ventilation of the lung. For this reason, stimulating and supporting spontaneous breathing could enhance the success of noninvasive ventilation. Animal data also demonstrated that the large swings in blood pressure, blood flow, and oxygenation caused by immediate cord clamping can be avoided by postponing cord clamping until lung aeration has been established. In this review we will focus on these "game changers" that have the potential to completely change the approach used in stabilizing preterm infants at birth.
