The performance of growth charts in well term newborns in screening for hypoglycemia.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 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
objectiveTo compare the performance of Fenton Growth Chart (FGC) with WHO Growth Chart (WGC) to identify term infants at risk for hypoglycemia. STUDY
designA retrospective study of infants screened for hypoglycemia due to SGA or LGA status determined by FGC and/or WGC.
resultsNine hundred and seventy infants were included. There was 47.7% agreement between growth charts. A total of 283 (29.2%) newborns developed hypoglycemia. Of those with hypoglycemia, 53.7% were identified by both charts. WGC was more sensitive for all categories of hypoglycemia examined; hypoglycemia (81.3% [CI 76.2-86.7] vs 72.4% [CI 66.8-77.6]), severe hypoglycemia (80.8% [CI 67.5-90.4] vs 71.2% [CI 56.9-82.9]), and hypoglycemia requiring NICU transfer (88.5% [CI 69.9-97.6] vs 65.4% [CI 44.2-82.8). The FGC was more specific for all hypoglycemia categories.
conclusionsThere was poor agreement between WGC and FGC for hypoglycemia in term infants. The WGC was more sensitive in detecting hypoglycemia and was non-inferior to the FGC.
