Severe ischaemic gangrene of scalp in an extreme preterm: a fatal case of combined aetiology.

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
A 24+5-week preterm neonate with a severe scalp lesion was admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) after caesarean section due to maternal chorioamnionitis (MC). An Arabin pessary had been inserted in addition to a previous cervical cerclage due to cervix insufficiency at 21+5 weeks of pregnancy (wp). At 23+5 wp, preterm rupture of membranes was evidenced. Both devices were kept to provide fetal viability. On 24+4 wp, she developed MC. Urgent caesarean section was performed. Transvaginal manual manipulation was required during the procedure. On NICU, she presented severe shock which required high-dose vasopressors and blood products. Following surgical repair, a bilateral grade IV intracranial haemorrhage was evidenced. Subsequently, it was agreed to withdraw life support. We hypothesise that MC and local infection could have acted as predisposing factors, with the presence of a pessary in the setting causing uterine contractions and its manipulation acting as a precipitating factor.
