Time Interval From Early-Term Antenatal Corticosteroids Administration to Delivery and the Impact on Neonatal Outcomes.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Objectives: To determine the association between the time interval from antenatal corticosteroids administration to delivery and neonatal complications in diabetic mothers undergoing early term (37+0 to 38+6 weeks) scheduled cesarean section (ETSCS). Study Design: A retrospective cohort study of women with any form of diabetes in pregnancy undergoing ETSCS was included. Cases were stratified into the following groups based on the time interval from the first dose of corticosteroids administration to delivery: <2, 2-7, and >7 days. Women undergoing ETSCS, who did not receive corticosteroids were included as controls. We assessed the association between the time interval and neonatal outcomes in a multivariate regression model that controlled for potential confounders. Primary outcomes were the incidence of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS)/transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN) and neonatal hypoglycemia. Results: The study cohort comprised 1,165 neonates. Of those, 159 (13.6%) were delivered within 2 days of maternal corticosteroids administration, 131 (11.2%) were delivered within 2-7 days after maternal corticosteroids administration, and 137 (11.8%) delivered more than 7 days after maternal corticosteroids administration. The remaining 738 (63.3%) were not exposed to corticosteroids. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that delivery within any time of antenatal corticosteroids administration was not associated with decreased risks of RDS/TTN. The risk of neonatal hypoglycemia was highest in the delivery of <2 days group (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 2.684, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.647-4.374 for control group; aOR: 2.827, 95% CI: 1.250-6.392 for delivery 2-7 days group; aOR:2.975, 95% CI: 1.265-6.996 for delivery >7 days group). Conclusions: Corticosteroids treatment for diabetic mothers undergoing ETSCS was not associated with beneficial neonatal respiratory outcomes. In addition, delivery, <2 days after antenatal corticosteroids administration was associated with an increased risk of neonatal hypoglycemia.
