The Effect of Umbilical Cord Milking Compared with Delayed Cord Clamping in Term Neonates: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Article in International journal of women's health, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectiveTo study the effect of intact umbilical cord milking (I-UCM) procedure in comparison with the procedure of delayed cord clamping (DCC) in term neonates. STUDY
designA randomized controlled trial.
settingDepartment of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Department of Pediatrics, Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe study was performed from June 2017 to March 2018. Singleton term pregnant women (37-42 weeks' gestation) were recruited. Neonates were randomized into DCC and I-UCM groups. Umbilical cord was 3 times milked toward the neonate in 25 cm length from umbilical stump which was still attached to the placenta before cutting the cord in I-UCM group. Delay in cord clamping for 60 seconds was performed before the cord cutting in DCC group. Neonatal and maternal outcomes were recorded.
resultsOf 168 neonates included in this trial, 84 cases were randomized into each group. The baseline characteristics of both groups were comparable. No statistical difference was found in terms of the mean of hemoglobin levels in the DCC and I-UCM groups which were 16.9 (±1.6) g/dl and 17.0 (±1.9) g/dl, respectively (P-value 0.75). There was no difference in terms of adverse neonatal and maternal outcomes in both groups.
conclusionBoth I-UCM and DCC revealed a comparable effect on hematologic status without deleterious effects on neonatal and maternal outcomes at the age of 48-72 hours in term neonates.
