Future perspectives of heart rate and oxygenation monitoring in the neonatal intensive care unit - a narrative review.
Review in Journal of clinical monitoring and computing, 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
purposeVital sign monitoring plays a pivotal role in assessing and managing the clinical condition of vulnerable newborn infants in the delivery room and in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), with advancements in technology over the last years paving the way for newer and less invasive monitoring techniques.
methodsWe conducted a narrative review of the literature in PubMed, Embase, GoogleScholar, and ClinicalTrials.gov. to describe newer technologies in neonatal monitoring of heart rate and oxygen saturation including secondary data-use, focusing also on promising studies which are currently underway.
resultsInnovations such as photoplethysmography, wireless skin sensors, spectroscopy and tremolo sonification can provide a continuous and comprehensive assessment of neonatal vital sign monitoring, including heart rate and oxygen saturations, allowing for the enhancement of early detection of potential complications. Moreover advanced mathematical models, such as heart rate characteristic variability and closed loop automated systems, have shown promise in processing and storing vast amounts of data, aiding in the early prediction of adverse clinical outcomes, supporting decision-making and guiding the development of future studies.
conclusionAs the field of vital sign monitoring in the NICU continues to evolve, it is essential to address challenges related to novel modalities, data privacy, algorithm accuracy, and seamless integration into existing healthcare systems. By harnessing the potential of innovative technologies, the future of vital sign monitoring in the NICU promises improved neonatal outcomes, enhanced healthcare delivery and facilitation of individualisation of care.
