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

Background/Objective: Delayed umbilical cord clamping (DCC) for 30-60 s after birth is recommended for both term and preterm infants. The additional neonatal blood volume rich in stem cells and immunoglobulins may protect the neonate from infections. We aim to compare the effect of DCC in term newborns on hyperbilirubinemia and respiratory infection-related pediatric emergency department (PED) encounters and hospitalizations within the first 6 months of life. Methods: We conducted a chart review of term infants born between January 1, 2022 and December 31, 2022 and grouped them as either having DCC or not having delayed umbilical cord clamping (nDCC) for 30-60 s after birth. Maternal and newborn characteristics, hyperbilirubinemia, respiratory infection-related PED encounters, hospitalizations, and length of stay in the initial 6 months after birth were compared. Data were analyzed using R software, a Results: Of the 2136 charts reviewed, 659 (31%) were in the DCC group. There were significantly fewer respiratory infection-related PED encounters ( Conclusions: We observed fewer respiratory infection-related PED encounters and hospitalizations in the initial 6 months of life and a lower incidence of hyperbilirubinemia among the infants who had DCC. The increased blood volume and its components appear to be supportive of the neonate's developing immune system as seen in the lower disease burden up to 6 months of age.
