Prevention of excessive hypothermia in infants with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy prior to admission to a quaternary care center: a neonatal outreach educational project.
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 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
objectiveExcessive hypothermia is common in infants that receive passive cooling for hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). Our goal was to reduce the number of infants with admission temperature <33 °C from 33% to less than 10% by December 2017.
methodsOutcome measures included the number of infants with admission temperature <33 °C and number of infants with temperature within therapeutic range. Interventions included implementation of passive cooling guidelines and outreach education to birth hospitals and transport team. We used statistical process control chart to compare outcomes over a 3 year period.
resultsThe number of infants with admission temperature <33 °C decreased from 33.3% to 5.5% (p = 0.013). The number of infants with admission temperature within target range for hypothermia therapy increased from 61.1% to 77.7% (p = 0.014). Balancing measures and complications remained unchanged.
conclusionImplementation of passive cooling guidelines and outreach education led to significant decrease in excessive hypothermia in infants with HIE.
