Development and Content of Core Outcome Sets in Neonatology-A Scoping Review.
Article in Acta paediatrica (Oslo, Norway : 1992), 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
aimTo identify subgroups of neonates for whom core outcome sets (COS) have been developed, the outcomes that were included and the methods used in their formulation.
methodsWe performed a scoping review and searched databases in April 2025 for published COS. We included COS that reported neonatal outcomes, even when the original interventions targeted pregnant individuals. Methods of COS development and the included outcomes were extracted for descriptive analysis.
resultsA total of 363 abstracts were screened and 34 COS studies included for analysis. The most used methods were modified Delphi and Delphi consensus methods, consisting of a median of three rounds and a consensus meeting. Overall, a total of 62 distinct neonatal outcomes were proposed. The five most commonly included outcomes were neonatal mortality, preterm birth, birth weight, need for neonatal intensive care unit admission and neurodevelopment.
conclusionWe found that the neonatal core outcome sets had clear heterogeneity in their selected outcomes. Future primary studies and evidence reviews should aim to focus on including important outcomes, when possible, to improve consistency in reporting.
