Centralization as the key survival benefit in acute neonatal surgery.

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: Centralization of neonatal surgical care for congenital malformations is already under discussion. Acute care of neonatal emergencies in perinatal centers with affiliated hospitals is not uniformly regulated in Germany. Materials and methods: Analyses are based on acute pediatric surgical care at four affiliated hospitals of a perinatal center. Epidemiologic data and outcome parameters "survival", "intracerebral hemorrhage", and "revision of surgical indication" are assessed. Comparison is made between patients receiving surgical treatment at affiliated hospitals (group A) and patients with transfer to the university center for therapy in case of surgical indication for gastrointestinal diseases (group B). Results: 17 group A-patients are compared to 40 group B-patients. Comparison of epidemiological data reveals no significant differences. There is a survival advantage with transfer to the university center (mortality of 29% in group A vs. 2% in group B, Conclusion: Transfer of patients at the beginning of the acute phase of gastrointestinal diseases is key to optimize the quality of neonatal surgical care. However, larger population studies should confirm the presented results, discuss restricting factors of real care structures and should rule out bias in triage of patients.
