A new clinical respiratory distress score for surfactant therapy in preterm infants with respiratory distress.
Observational study in European journal of pediatrics, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The guidelines for surfactant therapy are largely based on studies done in developed coun1tries wherein the facility infrastructure, patient profile, and clinical practices are different from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Though SRT is widely practiced in developing countries, there exists variability in clinical practice. Our objective was to identify the factors which would predict the need of surfactant administration and develop a "clinical respiratory distress (RD) score" for surfactant administration in preterm neonates with respiratory distress. A prospective observational study was conducted in 153 preterm infants (26
