Oxidative and Inflammatory Markers Are Higher in Full-Term Newborns Suffering Funisitis, and Higher Oxidative Markers Are Associated with Admission.

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 aim of this study was to assess whether oxidative and inflammatory mediators in the cord blood of newborns with funisitis and chorioamnionitis can serve as indicators of their inflammatory status, and whether there is a positive association between higher mediator levels and an increased risk of admission to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). This study was conducted prospectively in a neonatology department of a university hospital. In total, 52 full-term newborns were evaluated, including 17 funisitis cases, 13 chorioamnionitis cases, and 22 control newborns without funisitis or chorioamnionitis. Cord blood samples were measured for oxidative stress and inflammatory status markers. The oxidative stress markers included the total nitric oxide (NO), total hydroperoxide (TH), biological antioxidant potential (BAP), and TH/BAP ratio, comprising the oxidative stress index (OSI). Inflammatory markers included interleukin (IL)-1b, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), interferon γ (IFNγ), and complement component C5a. TH, OSI, IL-1b, IL-6, and IL-8 concentrations were higher in the funisitis group than in the chorioamnionitis and control groups. C5a was higher in the funisitis and chorioamnionitis groups than in the control group. Among all enrolled newborns, 14 were admitted to the NICU. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that elevated umbilical cord blood levels of OSI and TH were associated with a higher risk of admission to the NICU (OSI: R = 2.3, 95% CI 1.26-4.29,
