Antenatal Prediction of Early Cord Clamping among Infants Born Extremely Preterm.
Article in The Journal of pediatrics, 2026. 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 identify prenatal risk factors associated with early cord clamping (ECC) in infants born extremely preterm (22-28 weeks) and to use these factors to predict which infants have the highest risk of ECC. STUDY
designStepwise logistic regression and classification and regression tree analysis were performed to identify variables most associated with ECC and to build a parsimonious model to identify infants born preterm who are at the highest risk of ECC.
resultsThere were 12 622 infants eligible for analysis (ECC, n = 8465 vs deferred cord clamping [DCC], n = 4157). In the classification and regression tree model, center, lack of antenatal magnesium, cesarean delivery, lower gestational age, and antenatal hemorrhage, in that rank order, were the factors that contributed most to identifying which infants received ECC. Several additional factors were also statistically significant, including time to delivery after admission to the hospital as well as maternal race and ethnicity.
conclusionsOur results suggest that there are multiple factors among extremely preterm pregnancies, including center, lack of antenatal magnesium, cesarean delivery, lower gestational age, and antenatal hemorrhage, that are associated with infants who are more likely to miss DCC. There are also differences in rates by maternal race and ethnicity in who receives DCC compared with ECC. Identifying these factors now can inform future research and encourage local and larger-scale quality improvement practice changes.
