Comparing pulse rate measurement in newborns using conventional and dry-electrode ECG monitors.

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
aimHeart rate (HR) is the most important parameter to evaluate newborns' clinical condition and to guide intervention during resuscitation at birth. The present study aims to compare the accuracy of NeoBeat dry-electrode ECG for HR measurement with conventional ECG and pulse oximetry (PO).
methodsNewborns with a gestational age ≥32 weeks and/or birth weight ≥1.5 kg were included when HR evaluation was needed. HR was simultaneously measured for 10 min with NeoBeat, PO and conventional ECG.
resultsA total of 18 infants were included (median (IQR) gestational age 39 (36-39) weeks and birth weight 3 150 (2 288-3 859) grams). Mean (SD) duration until NeoBeat obtained a reliable signal was 2.5 (9.0) s versus 58.5 (171.0) s for PO. Mean difference between NeoBeat and ECG was 1.74 bpm (LoA -4.987-8.459 and correlation coefficient 0.98). Paired HR measurements over 30-s intervals revealed no significant difference between NeoBeat and ECG. The positive predictive value of a detected HR <100 bpm by NeoBeat compared with ECG was 54.84%, negative predictive value 99.99%, sensitivity 94.44%, specificity 99.99% and accuracy 99.85%.
conclusionsHR measurement with NeoBeat dry-electrode ECG at birth is reliable and accurate.
