Is it time for a separate residency and department in "Neonatal Critical Care Medicine"?
Review in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Recent changes in pediatric residency curriculum require reductions in the duration of NICU rotations. Low interest in pediatrics among medical students coupled with reduced exposure to neonatology during residency are likely to decrease applications to neonatology fellowships. We propose a separate neonatal critical care residency combining 1-2 years of pediatrics followed by 3 years of neonatology rotations (total 4-5 years) to enhance recruitment. There is also a need to reengage the neonatology community to be role models and inspire and attract medical students to neonatology. Academic neonatology is facing a crisis. Long hours, high productivity expectations, and significantly lower compensation compared to non-academic settings is contributing to physician disengagement. A transparent cFTE definition, better governing structure, strategic allocation of resources to recruit, retain and nurture neonatal physician-scientists and engaged clinician-educators are needed. If these measures are not effective, a separate department of neonatal critical care medicine should be considered.
