Quality improvement initiative to decrease severe intraventricular hemorrhage rates in preterm infants by implementation of a care bundle.
Article 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 3 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
objectiveTo decrease the incidence of severe Intraventricular Hemorrhage (sIVH) rates in preterm infants in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) to 10% over eight months. POPULATION: All infants born less than 30 gestational weeks.
methodsTargeted interventions focus on the first 72 h of life and include minimizing disturbance in cerebral blood flow and minimal stimulation. Data were collected from a review of electronic medical records from September 2023 - April 2024. OUTCOME MEASURES: A decrease in sIVH (grade III-IV), an increase in head-of-bed elevation rate, and an evaluation of pedal/pelvic edema due to head-of-bed elevation.
resultsThe rate of sIVH decreased over the eight-month implementation period from 24.4% in the baseline period to 9.3% in the intervention period.
conclusionStandardization of care using a sIVH prevention bundle was instrumental in the success of this project.
