Infants Born at Late Preterm Gestation: Management during the Birth Hospitalization.
Article in The Journal of pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveTo examine the admission practices, frequency of common clinical morbidities, and rates of medical intervention in infants born at 34-36 weeks gestational age (GA, late preterm). STUDY
designThis retrospective, single institution, cohort study analyzed electronic health records of infants born late preterm from 2019 through 2021. Infants with known congenital anomalies necessitating neonatal intensive care unit admission were excluded. Analysis included descriptive and inferential statistics.
resultsThe study included 1022 infants: 209 (21%) 34 weeks GA, 263 (26%) 35 weeks GA, and 550 (54%) 36 weeks GA. Sixty-three percent of infants at 35 weeks GA and 78% of infants of 36 weeks GA remained in well newborn care throughout the birth hospitalization; infants born at 34 weeks GA were ineligible for well newborn care. The need for respiratory support was 32%, 18%, and 11% in infants of 34, 35, and 36 weeks GA, respectively. Supplemental tube feeds were administered in 55%, 24%, and 8% of infants of 34, 35, and 36 weeks GA, respectively. Most infants born at 34 weeks GA (91%) were placed in an incubator; this was less frequent in infants at 35 (37%) and 36 weeks (16%). Tachypnea, hypoglycemia, and hypothermia were noted in 40%, 61%, and 57% of infants, respectively. A subset of these infants (30% with tachypnea, 23% with hypoglycemia, and 46% with hypothermia) required medical intervention for these abnormalities.
conclusionsThis single-center study provides an outlook on the care of infants born late preterm. Multicenter studies can contextualize these findings in order to develop clinical benchmarks and quality markers for this large population of infants.
