Seven years later: state neonatal risk-appropriate care policy consistency with the 2012 American Academy of Pediatrics Policy.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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 assess consistency of state neonatal risk-appropriate care policies with the 2012 AAP policy seven years post-publication. STUDY
designSystematic, web-based review of all publicly available 2019 state neonatal levels of care policies. Information on infant risk (gestational age, birth weight), technology and equipment capabilities, and availability of specialty staffing used to define neonatal levels of care was extracted for review.
resultHalf of states (50%) had a neonatal risk-appropriate care policy. Of those states, 88% had language consistent with AAP-defined Level I criteria, 80% with Level II, 56% with Level III, and 55% with Level IV. Comparing policies (2014-2019), consistency increased in state policies among all levels of care with the greatest increase among level IV criteria.
conclusionStates improved consistency of policy language by each level of care, though half of states still lack policy to provide minimum standards of care to the most vulnerable infants.
