1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Between 2007 and 2017, rates of neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome (NOWS) have drastically increased. Although current evidence suggests that chronic prenatal opioid exposure may result in adverse neurodevelopmental consequences, there is no standardized protocol for the follow-up care of affected patients. We call on the American Academy of Pediatrics to develop a standardized protocol for the follow-up care of infants prenatally exposed to opioids that also supports families and providers. More specifically, special consideration should be given to identifying and providing solutions to barriers of care for families, as well as for providers. Educating families on the importance of follow-up care would also be beneficial, as well as educating providers on how to address family barriers. Prioritizing and attending to this call to action will allow for improvement in practice and patient care over time and potentially reduce hospital readmission rates commonly associated with NOWS.
