Comparison of STOPS and SNAPPE-II in Predicting Neonatal Survival at Hospital Discharge: A Prospective, Multicentric, Observational Study.
Observational study in Indian journal of pediatrics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05763316 (Accuracy of Scoring Systems for Risk Assessment in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Sohag University Hospital), which is not on this map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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.

Abstract
objectiveTo compare SNAPPE-II and STOPS admission severity scores in neonates admitted to neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) with a gestational age of ≥ 33 wk.
methodsIn this multicenter, prospective, observational study, the sickness scoring was done on all the neonates at 12 h after admission to the NICUs. The scoring systems were compared by the area under the curve (AUC) on the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve.
resultsA total of 669 neonates with gestational age ≥ 33 wk (mortality rate: 2.4%), who were admitted to five participating NICUs within 24 h of birth, were included. Both SNAPPE-II and STOPS had the good discriminatory and predictive ability for mortality with AUCs of 0.965 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.94-0.98] and 0.92 (95% CI: 0.87-0.99), respectively. The STOPS scoring system with a cutoff score ≥ 4 on the ROC curve had 85% accuracy, whereas the SNAPPE-II cutoff score ≥ 33 on the ROC curve had 94% accuracy in predicting mortality.
conclusionIn infants with the gestational age of ≥ 33 wk, SNAPPE-II and STOPS showed similar predictive ability, but the STOPS score, being a simpler clinical tool, might be more useful in resource-limited settings.
