The Colorado Hospitals Substance Exposed Newborn Quality Improvement Collaborative: Standardization of Care for Opioid-Exposed Newborns Shortens Length of Stay and Reduces Number of Infants Requiring Opiate Therapy.
Article in Hospital pediatrics, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
objectivesTo decrease the average length of stay (LOS) of opioid-exposed newborns (OENs) by 20% from baseline from April 2017 to December 2019.
methodsThe Colorado Hospitals Substance Exposed Newborn Quality Improvement Collaborative is a consortium of neonatal providers, public health experts, and legislative experts that provides infrastructure and resources for Colorado birthing hospitals to undertake initiatives focused on improving the care of OENs. The Colorado Hospitals Substance Exposed Newborn Quality Improvement Collaborative was started in September 2017 and includes 19 birthing hospitals in Colorado, with 12 contributing data to the centralized database. The interventions were focused on (1) hospital engagement and (2) increasing nonpharmacologic care (by using the Eat, Sleep, Console assessment tool; developing guidelines for breastfeeding eligibility; employing comfort measures before pharmacologic therapy; and administering opiate therapy on an as-needed basis).
resultsFrom April 2017 to December 2019, 787 OENs were identified. Among infants ≥35 weeks' gestational age without other medical diagnoses (
conclusionsThrough standardization of OEN care focused on family engagement and nonpharmacologic care, this statewide collaborative reduced average LOS, the percentage of OENs requiring opiate therapy, and average LOS for OENs requiring opiate therapy.
