Center-specific variation in outcomes for extremely premature, extremely low birth weight neonates.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The survival rate of neonates born with extremely low birth weight (<1,000 g) and extremely preterm (<29 gestational age) has significantly improved with advances in neonatal care. Despite such advances, outcomes vary widely across neonatal intensive care units due to differences in care practices and patient population. In this study, we examined 1,627 extremely low birth weight and extremely preterm infants admitted to three NICUs across the United States between 2013 and 2023. We evaluated survival and severe intraventricular hemorrhage (SIVH) using statistical models that were adjusted for maternal and neonatal characteristics. Significant differences in outcomes were observed between the centers. These differences were associated with variations in care practices, including resuscitation decisions for the infants. Despite these differences, all centers achieved survival without SIVH for a substantial number of infants, annually. These findings emphasize the need for evidence-based practice-sharing and improvements to ensure better and more consistent care.
