1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 systematically review the use of NIRS measured cerebral oxygenation and analyse these parameters during the immediate postnatal period. DATA SOURCES: EMBASE, MEDLINE, and Maternity and Infant Care databases using keywords: "Infants," "NIRS," and "Cerebral oxygenation." STUDY SELECTION: Inclusion criteria were clinical trials and observational studies measuring cerebral oxygenation up to 15 min of life. Exclusion criteria were non-human studies, non-English articles and case reports. DATA EXTRACTION: Two authors independently performed study selection, data extraction, and risk of bias assessment. Cerebral regional tissue Oxygenation (CrSO

resultsFifty nine studies, out of 4067 were included in the qualitative analysis. Studies included aimed to establish oxygenation reference ranges, assess the impact of delivery mode, cord clamping, and delivery room interventions on cerebral oxygenation, and evaluated its role in predicting long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes. Most studies focused on term neonates experiencing normal neonatal transitions. Aggregate mean values for CrSO

conclusionsNIRS measurement of CrSO IMPACT: There is a knowledge gap regarding cerebral oxygenation patterns during immediate neonatal transition. NIRS can be used to monitor and guide clinical management in delivery room, helping to inform clinicians about cerebral oxygenation during the transition. This study provides a comprehensive review of NIRS applications in measuring neonatal CrSO
