Randomised trial of cord clamping at very preterm birth: outcomes at 2 years.
Trial report in Archives of disease in childhood. Fetal and neonatal edition, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
objectiveTo report outcomes at 2 years corrected age for children of women recruited to a trial comparing alternative policies for timing of cord clamping and immediate neonatal care at very preterm birth.
designParallel group randomised (1:1) trial.
settingEight UK tertiary maternity units.
participantsTwo hundred and seventy-six babies born to 261 women expected to have a live birth before 32
interventionsDeferred cord clamping (≥2 min) and immediate neonatal care with cord intact or immediate (≤20 s) clamping and immediate neonatal care after clamping.
main outcome measureComposite of death or adverse neurodevelopmental outcome at 2 years corrected age.
resultsSix babies born after 35
conclusionsDeferred clamping and immediate neonatal care with cord intact may reduce the risk of death or adverse neurodevelopmental outcome at 2 years of age for children born very premature. Confirmation in larger studies is needed to determine the real benefits and harms. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: ISRCTN21456601.
