Incidence, Risk factors and Outcome of Respiratory Distress Syndrome in Term Infants at Academic Centre, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

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
introductionRespiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is a respiratory disorder of neonates that manifests itself within few hours after delivery. It is one of the most common causes of admission to neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and respiratory failure in neonates.
aimThe aim of this study was to determine the incidence, risk factors, and the short-term outcomes of RDS in term infants born in an academic tertiary care center at King Abdul-Aziz University Hospital (KAUH), Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
methodsData of all infants admitted to the NICU at the academic center between January 1
resultsFifty-nine term infants (59/3601, 1.64%) were admitted to the NICU with RDS and 59 control infants were matched during the study period. Infants with RDS were significantly of lower birth weight and had lower Apgar scores at one and five minutes. Although there was a higher number of cesarean section and PROM in the RDS group, but that didn't reach statistical significance. Three infants (5.1%) died in the RDS group.
conclusionRespiratory distress in term infants is still a significant cause of admission to NICU and a predisposing factor for neonatal mortality and morbidity. Preventative and anticipatory measures should be further explored to decrease the burden of this disease.
