Respiratory Function in Ventilated Newborn Infants Nursed Prone and Supine.
Observational study in Pediatric pulmonology, 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
objectivesProne positioning has been associated with improved oxygenation in ventilated newborn infants but the physiological basis of this improvement has not been previously studied. We aimed to test the hypothesis that respiratory function measured by composite physiological indices would be improved in the prone compared to the supine position. STUDY
designProspective observational study of ventilated newborns in a tertiary neonatal unit studied prone and supine at random order. METHODOLOGY: The ventilation to perfusion ratio (V
resultsForty-six (26 male) infants with a median (IQR) gestational age of 34.8 (33.1-36.3) weeks and birth weight of 2.34 (1.77-2.87) kg were studied after 5 (2-10) hours of invasive ventilation. The V
conclusionsThe prone position in ventilated neonates was associated with improved ventilation to perfusion matching and lower intrapulmonary shunting and alveolar dead space compared to supine.
