Mean Duration of Mechanical Ventilation among Newborns Admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in a Tertiary Care Centre: A Descriptive Cross-sectional Study.

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
Introduction: Neonatal deaths account for the majority of deaths in the first year of life. Life-threatening apnoea or cardiovascular collapse needs cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Technological advancements, such as the administration of antepartum steroids, replacement of surfactants, nasal continuous positive airway pressure, and mechanical ventilation have led to improved neonatal survival, especially for premature neonates. The aim of this study was to find out the mean duration of mechanical ventilation among newborns admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in a tertiary care centre. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted from 15 November 2020 to 15 April 2021 in a tertiary care centre. Ethical approval was taken from Institutional Review Committee (Reference number: F-NMC|504|076|077). The neonates of gestational age between 27-37 weeks of gestation admitted to the Neonatal care unit were included in the study. Neonates with birth weight <500 g and those babies having major, surgically uncorrectable lethal anomalies were excluded from the study. Convenience sampling method was used. Point estimate and 95% Confidence Interval were calculated. Results: Among 86 neonates, the mean duration of mechanical ventilation was 2.19±1.42 days. The mean weight of neonates was 2.63±0.81 kg. A total of 71 (82.56%) were male and 15 (17.44%) were female. Conclusions: The mean duration of mechanical ventilation among newborns admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit in a tertiary care centre was lower than in other studies conducted in similar settings. Keywords: mechanical ventilation; neonatal death; neonatal intensive care unit; neonate.
