Factors associated with hypothermia within the first 6 hours of life in infants born at ≥34
Article in BMC pediatrics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundLack of appropriate temperature management has been associated with significant adverse outcomes in preterm and low birthweight neonates. There is a lack of similar investigations in the late preterm (34
methodsA retrospective chart review was conducted at the Ottawa Hospital including all eligible infants ≥34
resultsFour hundred forty infants were included in the analysis; 26.8% (118/440) were hypothermic within 6 hours of delivery. In the multivariable analysis, prematurity, low 5 minute Apgar score (< 7) or need for resuscitation, maternal hypertension, and absence of premature rupture of membranes > 18 hours or suspected maternal infection were significantly associated with hypothermia within 6 hours of delivery (p < 0.05). Multivariable analysis of clinical outcomes demonstrated a significant association between hypothermia within 6 hours of delivery and NICU/SCN admission (OR = 2.87; 95% CI 1.36, 6.04), need for respiratory support or diagnosis of respiratory distress syndrome (OR = 3.94; 95% CI 1.55, 10.50), and length of stay (exp(β) = 1.20; 95% bootstrap CI 1.04, 1.37).
conclusionsOur results suggest there are similar factors associated with hypothermia in our study population of infants born at ≥34
