Prevention of unplanned extubation in neonatal patients: Protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article in PloS one, 2025. 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
Unplanned extubation (UPE), defined as accidental removal of the endotracheal tube during mechanical ventilation or its replacement due to suspected obstruction or inadequate diameter, is considered the fourth most common adverse event in neonatal intensive care units (NICU). This study aimed to describe a systematic review and meta-analysis protocol that will identify and assess the effect of primary intervention measures designed to prevent UPE in NICU. A search will be carried out in the following databases: PubMed/Medline, EMBASE, Scopus, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, SciELO, and LILACS. Reviewers, in pairs and independently, will select the studies, perform data extraction and assess the methodological quality of the included studies using preestablished tools according to the type of study. The systematic review will provide evidence to present the main intervention measures used in the prevention of UPE during the care of critical neonatal patients. The systematic review and meta-analysis resulting from this protocol may provide important information regarding UPE in the neonatal population, which will help with decision-making and the implementation of safer clinical practices that focus on the reduction of adverse events, contributing to the improvement of service management and the safety of neonatal patients.
