Regional Differences in Lung Ventilation During the Early Transition Period in Late Preterm and Term Neonates Assessed by Electrical Impedance Tomography.
Article in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundChanges in lung ventilation are well documented in term neonates while in late preterm neonates these patterns are poorly understood despite their increased risk of respiratory morbidity.
objectivesThe study aimed to compare and clarify the differences in regional lung ventilation of late preterm and term neonates during the early adaptation period using electrical impedance tomography (EIT). MATERIAL AND
methodsThe case-control study was conducted in the years 2020-2022. It included 51 late preterm neonates (LPN, Study group) and 45 term neonates (TN, Control) born by normal vaginal delivery (NVD). EIT examinations were performed with a Swisstom BB2 (Switzerland) equipment. The data recordings were performed no later than 30 (I Record), 60 (II), and 90 (III) minutes after the birth.
resultsStatistically significant differences between LPN and TN were observed in the non-dependent lung areas at I record, with more silent spaces observed in the LPN (
conclusionsLPN during the first 90 min after the birth show reduced lung ventilation assessed by EIT, suggesting a possible impairment of early postnatal adaptation.
