The impact of implementation of oral dextrose gel on the incidence of multiple hypoglycemia events in the well newborn nursery.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveEvaluate the impact of 40% oral dextrose gel (DG) for management of neonatal hypoglycemia (NH) on the incidence of multiple hypoglycemic events in the well-baby nursery. STUDY
designA retrospective chart review of 738 at-risk infants in 2 cohorts before (Cohort 1) and after (Cohort 2) DG implementation. Primary outcome was the incidence of ≥2 hypoglycemic episodes. Secondary outcomes were number of lowest median glucose level, and incidence of NICU admission.
resultsThere were 384 and 354 at-risk newborns in Cohorts 1 & 2. The incidence of developing ≥2 hypoglycemia episodes significantly decreased following DG implementation [62(42.5%) vs 29(25.9%), p = 0.0058]. There were no differences in lowest glucose level [37 (14-45) vs 37 (10-45), p = 0.31], and NICU admission rate [31 (21.2%) vs 21 (18.8%), p = 0.62].
conclusionsImplementation of DG lowers the incidence of subsequent hypoglycemia episodes.
