1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundDeferred cord clamping (DCC) is beneficial for preterm infants, but there are concerns about the safety of DCC during Cesarean deliveries (CD) under general anesthesia (GA). We evaluated maternal and neonatal outcomes in preterm CD under GA vs. regional anesthesia (RA) after implementing 180 s of DCC.

methodsThis retrospective single-center observational study included CD at <33 weeks gestation, delivered between January 2018 and December 2023. The cord was clamped before 180 s for concerns of maternal bleeding or infant apnea after 30-45 s stimulation. Data was collected from reports from electronic medical records, neonatal intensive care unit database, and manually from the medical records of the patient. Multivariable regression analysis was used to assess the effect of anesthesia type and DCC on outcomes, adjusting for confounders.

resultsThis study included 170 mothers and 194 infants, and 84.9% of the infants received DCC ≥ 60 s. The GA group had a higher percentage of emergency CD and a lower median duration of DCC (105 s vs. 180 s,

conclusionsDCC was performed in a majority of CD under GA by adhering to protocols to shorten DCC in cases where maternal or fetal safety was threatened. GA with DCC was not associated with increased neonatal resuscitation or major neonatal morbidities and was associated with lower maternal hemorrhage and transfusion.
