The Effects of Antenatal Steroid Treatment on Preterm Infants' Early Laboratory Analysis.

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
objectivesWe assessed the effects of antenatal steroid treatment on preterm laboratory analysis conducted in the first 24 hours of life.
methodsMedical records of inborn preterm infants whose gestational age was ≤32 weeks were retrospectively reviewed in this study. Preterm infants whose mothers received antenatal betamethasone treatment of either 12 mg or 24 mg and who did not were divided into two groups. Maternal and neonatal demographic characteristics, all preterm morbidities and mortality rates, early laboratory examinations were compared between the two groups.
resultsMedical records of 603 infants between 2008 and 2013 were retrospectively reviewed. Data from 515 infants were analyzed. Three hundred and four infants (n=304) were in the antenatal steroid treatment (AST) group and 211 infants were in the group that did not receive the treatment. The incidence of preeclampsia and oligohydramnios was significantly higher in the AST group. Intubation in the delivery room rates decreased in the AST group. APGAR scores at five minutes were significantly higher in the AST group. White blood counts (WBC) significantly decreased, whereas the platelet counts were higher in the AST group. Serum C-reactive protein (CRP) and Interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels did not differ between groups.
conclusionWe did not demonstrate any relationship between inflammatory markers and antenatal steroid treatment in preterm infants.
