Increases in Neonatal Intensive Care Admissions in the United States, 2016-2023.
Article in NCHS data brief, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Objectives: This report examines trends in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission in the United States overall and by maternal age, race and Hispanic origin, gestational age and birthweight of the newborn, and state of residence of the mother from 2016 to 2023. Methods: Data are from the National Vital Statistics System birth files. The percentage of total NICU admissions in the United States from 2016 to 2023 are presented. Also presented are percentages of NICU admissions by maternal age, race and Hispanic origin, gestational age and birthweight of the newborn, and state of residence of the mother from 2016 to 2023. Key findings: The percentage of infants admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) in the United States rose 13% from 2016 to 2023, from 8.7% to 9.8%. Increases from 2016 to 2023 were seen for all maternal age, race and Hispanic origin groups, gestational age and birthweight categories and in 40 states.
