Evaluating preterm care across Europe using the eNewborn European Network database.
Article in Pediatric research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
backgroundThe inefficiency of recording data repeatedly limits the number of studies conducted. Here we illustrate the wider use of data captured as part of the European eNewborn benchmarking programme.
methodsWe extracted data on 39,529 live-births from 22 weeks 0 days to 31 weeks 6 days gestational age (GA) or ≤1500 g birth weight. We explored relationships between delivery room care and Apgar scores on mortality and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and calculated the time needed for each country to detect a clinically relevant change in these outcomes following a hypothetical intervention.
resultsEarly neonatal, neonatal, and in-hospital mortality were 3.90% (95% CI 3.71, 4.09), 6.00% (5.77, 6.24) and 7.57% (7.31, 7.83), respectively. The odds of death were greater with decreasing GA, lower Apgar scores, growth restriction, male sex, multiple birth and no antenatal steroids. Relationships for BPD were similar. The time required for participating countries to achieve 80% power to detect a relevant change in outcomes following a hypothetical intervention in 23-25 weeks' GA infants ranged from 12 years for neonatal mortality and 22 years for BPD compared to 1 year for the whole network.
conclusionsThe eNewborn platform offers opportunity to drive efficiencies in benchmarking, quality control and research.
