The incidence of pericardial effusion requiring intervention in infants with a history of umbilical catheter placement: the US national database.
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 1 paper.
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 assess the association of umbilical catheters (UC) placement with pericardial effusion (PCE) in newborn infants. STUDY
designWe analyzed the National Inpatient Sample dataset. We compared prevalence of PCE in infants with UC versus those without in three subpopulations: infants with birth weight (BW) > 2500 g or GA > 34 weeks, preterm infants with BW < 1500 g, and term infants with congenital heart disease (CHD) using regression analysis methods while controlling for clinical and demographic variables.
resultFirst analysis included a weighted sample of 22,751,313 infants with no hydrops fetalis. Of them, 1869 neonates (0.01%) had PCE. Pericardial effusion was found in 0.17% of infants with only UAC, 0.21% of infants with only UVC and 0.29% of infants with both catheters with an adjusted odds ratios (aOR) (1.5, CI:1.2-1.9), (2.3, CI:1.7-2.9), and (2.9, CI:2.4-3.6), p < 0.001, respectively. Similar findings were found in infants <1500 g and in those with CHD.
conclusionUmbilical Catheter placement is associated with increased risk for pericardial effusion.
