The association between sex and neonatal respiratory distress syndrome.
Article in BMC pediatrics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
backgroundTo investigate the association between sex and neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS).
methodsNeonates born at our hospital and transferred to the neonatal department within 1 h were retrospectively analyzed. Depending on whether they developed NRDS during their hospital stay, the neonates was divided into NRDS and non-NRDS groups. There were 142 neonates in the NRDS group (95 males and 47 females) and 310 neonates in the non-NRDS group (180 males and 140 females). The neonates' data on gestational age (GA), sex, birth weight, white blood cell count (WBC), platelet count (PLT), C-reactive protein (CRP), total immunoglobulin M (total IgM), gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM), antenatal steroids use, meconium-stained amniotic fluid, and preterm premature rupture of membranes(PPROM) were gathered.
results452 neonates (265 males and 187 females) were involved for the purpose of collecting basic characteristic. Multivariate analysis, males had a 1.87 times higher risk of NRDS than females (P < 0.05) after controlling for the confounding effects of GA, birth weight, WBC, PLT, CRP, total IgM, GDM, antenatal steroids use, meconium-stained amniotic fluid, and PPROM.
conclusionsSex was associated with NRDS; males had a considerably higher risk of NRDS than females.
