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

introductionBlood gas analysis is utilized to assess parameters of oxygenation and ventilation, including acid-base status [pH value, base excess (BE) or base deficit (BD), and bicarbonate (HCO

methodsA systematic search of PubMed and Ovid Embase was performed, focusing on cerebral oxygenation, neonates, and acid-base status. Risk of bias was assessed using the ''Risk of Bias for Non-randomized Studies of Exposures'' (ROBINS-E) instrument.

resultsFifty studies that measured parameters of the acid-base status and cerebral tissue oxygenation in the neonatal period were identified. Seven studies demonstrated a correlation between pH and cerebral tissue oxygenation, while eleven studies found no such correlation. Five studies demonstrated a correlation between the BE/BD and cerebral tissue oxygenation, while six studies found no such correlation. Three studies demonstrated a correlation between HCO DISCUSSION: Associations between acid-base status parameters and cerebral tissue oxygenation remain controversial. However, studies with the lowest risk of bias mainly demonstrated no significant correlation between any of the acid-base status parameters and cerebral tissue oxygenation.
