Neonatal intensive care unit on-site surgery for congenital diaphragmatic hernia.
Article in Experimental and therapeutic medicine, 2022. 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
The present study presents the experience gained in the Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of 'Maria S. Curie' Emergency Clinical Hospital for Children in Bucharest (Romania) after performing a series of bedside surgery interventions on newborns with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). We conducted a retrospective analysis of the data for all patients operated on-site between 2011 and 2020, in terms of pre- and post-operative stability, procedures performed, complications and outcomes. An analysis of a control group was used to provide a reference to the survival rate for non-operated patients. The present study is based on data from 10 cases of newborns, surgically operated on, on average, on the fifth day of life. The main reasons for operating on-site included hemodynamical instability and the need to administer inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) and high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV). There were no unforeseen events during surgery, no immediate postoperative complications and no surgery-related mortality. One noticed drawback was the unfamiliarity of the surgery team with the new operating environment. Our experience indicates that bedside surgery improves the likelihood of survival for critically ill neonates suffering from CDH. No immediate complications were associated with this practice.
