Delivery room intubation and severe intraventricular hemorrhage in extremely preterm infants without low Apgar scores: A Japanese retrospective cohort study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The purpose of this study was to assess the associations between delivery room intubation (DRI) and severe intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), as well as other neonatal outcomes, among extremely preterm infants without low Apgar scores using data from a large-scale neonatal registry data in Japan. We analyzed data for infants born at 24-27 gestational weeks between 2003 and 2019 in Japan using robust Poisson regression. Infants with low Apgar scores (≤ 1 at 1 min or ≤ 3 at 5 min) were excluded. The primary outcome was severe IVH. Secondary outcomes were other neonatal morbidities and mortality. The full cohort included 16,081 infants (intubation cohort, 13,367; no intubation cohort, 2714). The rate of DRI increased over time (78.6%, 2003-2008; 83.4%, 2009-2014; 87.8%, 2015-2019), while the rate of severe IVH decreased (7.1%, 2003-2008; 5.7%, 2009-2014; 5.3%, 2015-2019). Infants with DRI had a higher risk of severe IVH than those without DRI (6.8% vs. 2.3%; adjusted risk ratio, 1.86; 95% confidence interval, 1.33-2.58). The results did not change substantially when stratified by gestational age. Despite conflicting changes over time in DRI and severe IVH, DRI was associated with an increased risk of severe IVH among extremely preterm infants in Japan.
