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

objectivesTo investigate the effect of antenatal corticosteroids (ACS) on the risk of transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN) and respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) within 24 hours after birth in late preterm infants born to mothers with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).

methodsClinical data of mothers with GDM and their late preterm infants admitted to the Department of Obstetrics, Xiamen Maternal and Child Health Hospital, from January 2017 to December 2023 were retrospectively reviewed. Based on whether mechanical ventilation was required within 24 hours after birth, infants were classified into a mechanical ventilation group (

resultsA total of 1 420 infants were included. Multivariable logistic regression showed that ACS administration was a protective factor against the need for mechanical ventilation within 24 hours after birth (

conclusionsACS does not reduce the incidence of RDS in late preterm infants of mothers with GDM, but it effectively reduces TTN and the need for mechanical ventilation within 24 hours after birth. A complete ACS course and an interval of >7 days from the first dose to delivery provide the greatest benefit in reducing TTN and early postnatal mechanical ventilation.
