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 determine the insensible water losses (IWL) in preterm infants cared for in incubators with 70% or 90% relative humidity (RH). STUDY
designThis was a single center retrospective study of extremely preterm infants between 22- and 28-weeks gestational ages nursed in 70% and 90% RH. IWL was calculated using a formula that utilized infants' fluid intake, urine output and body weight changes. IWL between the two groups were compared using independent t-test. Multivariate linear regression was used to assess the effects of humidity on IWL after adjusting for confounding variables.
resultsIWL was higher in infants nursed in 70% RH when compared with those nursed in 90% RH (47.7 ± 30.3 vs. 28.8 ± 39.6, p = 002). Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that RH has an independent effect on the insensible water loss.
conclusionExtremely preterm infants nursed in incubator with 70% RH have higher IWL than infants nursed in 90% RH.
