Review in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has become essential for diagnosing and managing critically ill newborns. This technology offers rapid, non-invasive assessments and supports bedside clinical decision-making. Although POCUS applications in neonatology continue to expand, there remains a lack of standardized training, certification, and credentialing processes. This paper provides expert-based perspectives and guidelines for implementing neonatal POCUS, focusing on the core components of competency, credentialing, and quality assurance (QA). Recommendations include performing a minimum number of scans for various neonatal applications, integrating competency assessments into training programs, and ensuring a robust image repository and reporting pathway. Neonatal POCUS improves patient care, and establishing clear standards and frameworks will enhance provider performance, and ensure patient safety in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs).
