[Inflammatory and clinical markers predicting mortality in neonates under 1500 g].
Observational study in Revista medica del Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social, 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
Background: Early neonatal mortality occurs within 7 days of life. Clinical variables, inflammatory markers and CRIB (Clinical Risk Index for Babies) could be useful to identify mortality risk. Objective: To assess the predictive value of inflammatory and clinical markers for early mortality in preterm newborns (PTNB) < 1500 g. Material and methods: Analytical, retroprospective, observational and cross-sectional study. PTNBs with birth weight < 1500 g were included. Clinical characteristics, CRIB, inflammatory markers and C-reactive protein (CRP) were evaluated at 12 hours of life. Results: 248 PTNBs were studied, with a gestational age of 32 weeks (IQR 30-34), weight 1285 g (IQR 1070-1400); 20 died (8.06%). Risk factors for mortality were weight ≤ 1000 g, OR = 24 (7.69-77.96), p < 0.0001; gestational age ≤ 28 weeks, OR = 42 (13.71-128.61), p < 0.0001; invasive ventilation, OR = 44.7 (5.85-340), p < 0.0001. Protective factors were antenatal corticosteroids, OR = 0.15 (0.05-0.39), p = 0.0001, and maternal preeclampsia, OR = 0.13 (0.01-1.02), p = 0.01. CRP, base deficit and birth weight were associated with mortality in the multivariate analysis (intercept = 6.62; SE = 1.85; R2 = 0.60; p = 0.0003). CRP ≥ 2.30 µg/dL showed a sensitivity of 26.32% and a specificity of 97.50% for mortality, AUC = 0.69, p = 0.005. Conclusions: Predictors of early mortality were weight ≤ 1000 g, gestational age ≤ 28 weeks and CRP ≥ 2.30 μg/dL.
