1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThe concept of near-miss neonatal (NMN) is a potentially useful approach in assessing the quality of newborn care. However, data collected on the status of NMN cases in Morocco is scarce.

objectiveThe objective of this study is to determine the prevalence of NMN cases among live births at the University Hospital of Rabat, Morocco. MATERIALS AND

methodsAn observational cross-sectional study was conducted on 2676 newborns born at the University Hospital of Rabat, Morocco, and admitted to the National Reference Center of Neonatology and Nutrition (NRCN) from January 1 to December 31, 2021. The main inclusion criteria were the pragmatic and/or management markers of the definition of NMN. Data were extracted using a structured, pre-tested checklist, entered into EpiData, and exported to Statistical Software for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY), and descriptive statistics were performed.

resultsAmong the 2676 selected live births, 2367 were NMN cases (88.5%; 95% CI: 88.3-90.7). More than half of new mothers (57.5%) were referrals, 59.9% of women were multiparous, and 78.5% had under four prenatal care consultations. Obstetric problems affected 373 of the women during pregnancy. A pragmatic criterion was met in 43.6% of NMN situations. Among the management criteria, the use of intravenous antibiotics was the most common factor at 56.0%.

conclusionsThis study revealed a high prevalence of NMN. Therefore, concerted efforts are needed to improve maternal health care services, including early identification of complications and appropriate management.
