Do transport factors increase the risk of severe brain injury in outborn infants <33 weeks gestational age?
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
objectiveWe evaluated transport factors and postnatal practices to identify modifiable risk factors for SBI. STUDY
designRetrospective review of Canadian Neonatal Transport Network data linked to Canadian Neonatal Network data for outborns <33 weeks gestational age (GA), during January 2014 to December 2015. SBI was defined as grade 3 or 4 intraventricular hemorrhage or parenchymal echogenicity, including hemorrhagic and/or ischemic lesions.
resultAmong 781 infants, 115 (14.7%) had SBI with range 5.6-40% among transport teams. In multivariable analysis, SBI was associated with GA [0.77 (0.71, 0.85)] per week, receipt of chest compressions and/or epinephrine at delivery [1.81 (1.08, 3.05)] and receipt of fluid boluses [1.61 (1.00, 2.58)].
conclusionsRisk factors for SBI were related to the condition at birth and immediate postnatal management and not related to transport factors. These results highlight the importance of maternal transfer to perinatal centers to allow optimization of perinatal management.
