The Relationship between Antenatal Corticosteroid Administration-to-Delivery Intervals and Neonatal Respiratory Distress Syndrome and Respiratory Support.
Article in Journal of healthcare engineering, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Cited by 2 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
Background: Administration of antenatal corticosteroids (ACSs) is an effective strategy for managing preterm infants, which improves neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS) and attenuates the risk of neonatal mortality. However, many preterm infants are not exposed to a complete course of ACS administration, and the effects of different ACS-to-delivery intervals on NRDS and respiratory support remain unclear. Therefore, this study explored the relationship between ACS-to-birth intervals and NRDS and respiratory support in preterm infants. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, the preterm infants born between 240/7 and 316/7 wks of gestation were recruited from January 2015 to July 2021. All participants were categorised based on the time interval from the first ACS dose to delivery: <24 h, 1-2 d, 2-7 d, and >7 d. Multivariable logistic regression analysis examined the relationships between the ACS-to-birth interval and primary or secondary outcome while adjusting for potential confounders. Results: Of the 706 eligible neonates, 264, 83, 292, and 67 received ACS-to-delivery intervals of <24 h, 1-2 d, 2-7 d, and >7 d, respectively. After adjusting these confounding factors, the multivariable logistic analysis showed a significantly increased risk of NRDS (aOR: 1.8, 95% CI: 1.2-2.7), neonatal mortality (aOR: 2.8, 95% CI: 1.1-6.8), the need for surfactant use (aOR: 2.7, 95% CI: 1.7-4.4), endotracheal intubation in the delivery room (aOR: 1.9, 95% CI: 1.0-3.7), and mechanical ventilation (aOR: 1.9, 95% CI: 1.1-3.4) in the ACS-to-delivery interval of <24 h group when compared with the ACS-to-birth interval of 2-7 d group. Conclusions: Neonatal outcomes such as NRDS, neonatal mortality, the need for surfactant use, intubation in the delivery room, and the risk of mechanical ventilation are higher when the neonates are exposed to an ACS interval for less than 24 h before delivery.
