Evaluation of Modified Extended Sick Neonate Score to Predict In-Hospital Mortality among Newborns Admitted to Resource-Poor Settings in Rural India.
Article in Indian journal of pediatrics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectivesTo devise a score based on eight extended sick neonatal score (ESNS) variables by adding two more variables, birth weight, and gestational age to check its efficacy.
methodsA retrospective study was conducted on 521 neonates admitted from January 2018 to June 2020 in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of a tertiary care center. The proposed score has the following components, respiratory effort, heart rate, axillary temperature, capillary refill time, random blood sugar, pulse oximeter saturation, Moro reflex, modified Downes score, gestation age, and birth weight. Each was scored as 0, 1, and 2. The total score for each neonate was calculated from the records available and outcome documented. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was generated; and a cutoff score was derived to predict mortality and compared with modified sick neonatal score (MSNS).
resultsModified ESNS has a strong correlation with the outcome. Area under the ROC curve was 0.995 (95% CI: 0.925-0.985) for modified ESNS and 0.933 (95% CI: 0.901-0.976) for MSNS. The optimum cutoff values for predicting mortality were 15.5 for modified ESNS and 12.5 for MSNS. For a cutoff score of ≤ 15, sensitivity and specificity were 86.27% and 86.60% for modified ESNS and 90.20% and 84.89%, respectively, for MSNS, in predicting mortality. Positive and negative predictive values were 41.12% and 98.31% for modified ESNS and 39.32% and 98.76%, respectively for MSNS.
conclusionThe modified ESNS can predict in-hospital mortality among neonates, with good sensitivity and specificity.
