A Retrospective Study of High-Risk Infants: Insights From a Regional Hospital in Victoria, Australia.
Article in Journal of paediatrics and child health, 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
aimTo determine the magnitude of high-risk infants cared for at a regional hospital in Victoria, Australia and to identify the resources required to care for them.
methodsA retrospective study was conducted between January 2017 and December 2019 in a regional hospital in Victoria, Australia. Data of high-risk neonates and their associated risk factors were collected from electronic and physical medical records. Simple descriptive statistics were used to summarise and report the data. Follow-up was proposed based on the high-risk factors as per already known follow-up protocols.
resultsAn average of 848 births were registered annually. The special care nursery (SCN) within the regional hospital received an average of 260 admissions per annum. Of the admissions to the SCN, 47% of infants had high-risk factors. Approximately 90% of the high-risk infants were inborn and 10% were outborn. Prematurity, small for gestational age (SGA) and adverse socio-demographic variables were the most common risk factors across all 3 years. Approximately 43% of high-risk infants had two or more risk factors. The prevalence of these high-risk factors between the 3 years remained consistent.
conclusionA considerable number of high-risk neonatal admissions were recorded in this regional hospital which serves a large proportion of socio-economically disadvantaged patients. Customised and co-located multidisciplinary team (MDT) follow-up of these high-risk neonates is crucial. Findings can inform local guidelines for MDT neurodevelopmental follow up program to prevent long term adverse outcomes.
