Thresholds for oximetry alarms and target range in the NICU: an observational assessment based on likely oxygen tension and maturity.
Observational study in BMC pediatrics, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
backgroundContinuous monitoring of SpO
methodsThis is a retrospective observational study intended to describe the relative chance of normoxemia, and risks of hypoxemia and hyperoxemia at relevant SpO
resultsNeonates were categorized by postmenstrual age: < 33 (n = 155), 33-36 (n = 192) and > 36 (n = 1031) weeks. From these infants, 26,162 SpO
conclusionsThe risk of hyperoxemia and hypoxemia increases exponentially as SpO
