Critical care among newborns with and without a COVID-19 diagnosis, May 2020-February 2022.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 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
objectiveTo assess COVID-19 association with newborn critical care outcomes, including nursery level of care and ventilation, during three time periods: Pre-delta (May 2020-June 2021), Delta (July-November 2021), and Omicron (December 2021-February 2022). STUDY
designIn a retrospective cohort of newborns born May 2020-February 2022 using the Premier Healthcare Database, we classified COVID-19 status and critical care using International Classification of Diseases 10th Revision and Current Procedural Terminology codes, laboratory data, and billing records and assessed for variation during three time periods.
resultsOf 1,388,712 newborns, 0.06% had COVID-19 during the birth hospitalization (Pre-delta period: 0.03%; Delta: 0.07%; Omicron: 0.21%). Among newborns with COVID-19, the risks for admission to a higher-level nursery and for invasive or non-invasive ventilation were lower in the Omicron period compared to Pre-delta and Delta periods.
conclusionFrom May 2020-February 2022, COVID-19 in newborns was rare and cases were less severe during the period of Omicron predominance.
