Neonatal Outcomes in Labor After Intravenous Remifentanil Analgesia vs. Epidural Analgesia: A Retrospective Observational 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
Background Some evidence indicates that maternal analgesia during labor may have adverse effects on neonates due to exposure to specific drugs or the potential effects of analgesia on the course of labor. We assessed the clinical outcome of term neonates born to mothers who received epidural analgesia (E) or systemic analgesia with remifentanil (R) during labor. Methods Data was collected retrospectively over one year. We have evaluated the medical records of 247 full-term neonates; 208 were born to mothers who received E and 39 to mothers who received R. Data on Apgar scores and neonatal complications (perinatal asphyxia, respiratory distress, infection, hyperbilirubinemia, and birth injuries), and average hospital stay were collected. Mann-Whitney U test, chi-square test, and logistic regression analysis were used where appropriate. Results The values of the mean Apgar scores between E and R at 1 and 5 minutes were similar (8.83 vs. 8.97,
