Fatigue and fallibility: the perils of prolonged shifts for neonatologists.
Review 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
Sleep deprivation is a major challenge for neonatologists, who face increasing demands in the complex healthcare system. Current neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) schedule models often include extended shifts and overnight call, which can lead to sleep deprivation. This lack of sufficient sleep poses adverse health risks to neonatologists and can impair cognitive function, which increases the risk of medical errors and compromises patient safety. This paper proposes reducing shift durations and implementing policies and interventions to reduce fatigue among neonatologists and improve patient safety. The paper also offers policymakers, healthcare leaders, and NICU physicians valuable insights on potential ways to promote the health of the neonatologist workforce and safety in the NICU.
