Respiratory and glycemic control outcomes of late preterm infants after antenatal corticosteroid exposure.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectiveTo quantify changes in respiratory and glycemic control outcomes following antenatal corticosteroids (ANCS) exposure in late preterm neonates. DESIGN/
methodsThe study included 500 neonates born between 34 0/7 and 36 6/7 weeks of gestation. Study population was divided into two groups: an immature group (34 0/7-35 6/7 weeks) and a mature group (36 0/7-36 6/7 weeks). Respiratory and glycemic control outcomes were analyzed for each group independently.
resultsIn the immature group, the odds of developing respiratory distress decreased in neonates exposed to ANCS within 7 days of delivery (aOR 0.42; p = 0.02). In the mature group, ANCS exposure did not change respiratory outcomes, but decreased lowest blood glucose levels (-1.5 ± 0.66 mg/dL per dose, p = 0.02).
conclusionIn our study cohort, ANCS administration was associated with improved neonatal respiratory outcomes only for infants in the immature 34 0/7-35 6/7 weeks of gestational age group. ANCS was associated with altered glycemic control only in infants in the mature 36 0/7-36 6/7 weeks of gestational age group.
