Elevated level of creatine phosphokinase in newborn: Clinical significance and association with congenital muscle diseases.

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 establish the normal Creatine phosphokinase (CPK) range in newborns of all 3 modes of delivery and prove that high CPK level in neonates is not specific a indicator for muscular pathology.
methodsThis is a prospective cohort study that is conducted in King Abdulaziz Medical City and King Abdullah Specialized Children Hospital in Riyadh and included 504 term neonates who were born between March 2021 and August 2021. Two hundred and fifty three were males and 251 were females. Data and consents were managed and collected using 2 coordinators.
resultsDuration of the second stage of labor, age on the first CPK test and fetal gestational age were significantly correlated with CPK values (r=0.197, r=-0.234, r=0.274, respectively). The normal ranges for each delivery type were 334 U/L-2667U/L in normal spontaneous vaginal delivery, 265U/L-1182U/L in elective cesarean section, and 223U/L-3082 U/L in emergency cesarean section.
conclusionThe CPK was elevated in all neonates in all 3 modes of deliveries. An elevated levels of CPK in neonates is not a specific indicator for any congenital muscular pathology.
