1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThe standardised management of neonatal critical care centres can help improve health outcomes of vulnerable newborns. Guidance is required to update evidence related to construction and management of neonatal critical care centres in China.

objectiveTo establish expert consensus on the essential capability lists for neonatal critical care at three levels in China. DESIGN AND

settingAccording to China's administrative divisions, the Chinese guidelines stratifies neonatal critical care into three levels: county level (basic and special care), city level (intensive care) and province level (comprehensive care including neonatal surgery and more subspecialty interventions). A modified Delphi study was conducted. A group of 20 neonatologists from the Chinese Association of Neonatologists rated the importance of capability items on a 5-point Likert scale.

resultsAt county level, the list consisted of 29 items related to basic and special care, and 3 items were unanimously rated very important by all experts: neonatal resuscitation, endotracheal intubation and continuous positive airway pressure ≥72 hours. At city level, group consensus defined 38 items as essential. Besides the essential items of county level, more items for intensive care were included in city level. At province level, 64 items reached consensus, including neonatal surgery and more advanced subspecialty interventions. The Kendall's W values showed good agreement among experts in both rounds, and an increase from round 1 to round 2.

conclusionsWe developed the capability lists for neonatal critical care at three levels in China. Neonatal resuscitation should be provided by all levels. Interventions for preterm newborns are stratified according to gestational age and birth weight. Congenital abnormalities requiring surgical services need to be managed in high-level centres.
