Impact of delayed and early umbilical cord clamping on maternal and neonatal outcome - A prospective observational study.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 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
Background: The delayed cord clamping (DCC) procedure is frequently recommended by medical professionals because of its ability to facilitate the natural transfer of blood from the placenta to the baby, which in turn raises the blood volume that is present in the newborn at the time of birth. However, there is no universally agreed-upon definition for DCC, ECC (early cord clamping) and clamping times vary across studies. Objective: The objective is to assess and contrast the impacts of ECC and DCC on neonatal haemoglobin, haematocrit and serum bilirubin concentrations in full-term neonates. Methods: This prospective observational study involved 180 uncomplicated full-term pregnancies, divided equally into ECC <30 seconds and DCC1-3 minutes groups. Cord clamping time was also used to determine neonatal haematological parameters. Results: Notable disparities were noted between the ECC and DCC groups for mean haemoglobin levels, haematocrit values, birth weight and 5-minute Apgar scores ( Conclusions: This study established that DCC increases neonatal haemoglobin concentration at birth and improves iron reserve in early infancy. Based on the present evidence, it is evident that delayed cord clamping has a lot of benefits and should be incorporated as a routine procedure in normal, uncomplicated, full-term births.
