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

backgroundNeonatal resuscitation is crucial for transitioning to extrauterine life. The Neonatal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (NCPR) guidelines in Japan were first developed based on the 2005 International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) recommendations and have since been revised approximately every 5 years. However, the extent of their implementation in clinical practice remains unclear. This study aimed to assess the current status of neonatal resuscitation practices.

methodsWe conducted a survey targeting 2297 delivery facilities in Japan. The questionnaire assessed equipment availability, provider training, and adoption of updated practices.

resultsIn total, 1553 facilities responded, of which 1505 were actively conducting deliveries. Therefore, the analysis was performed based on the responses from 1505 delivery-performing facilities. Pulse oximeters were widely available, whereas electrocardiogram monitors and oxygen-air blenders were less common. T-piece resuscitators were used in 32% of the facilities. Only 11% of the facilities had experience using supraglottic airway devices. Although 81% reported that all or almost all staff had completed NCPR training, 23 clinics lacked trained personnel. Regarding umbilical cord management in infants born before 28 weeks of gestation, cut cord milking was the most common method, followed by intact cord milking, early cord clamping, and delayed cord clamping.

conclusionsNeonatal resuscitation systems are generally established across delivery facilities in Japan. However, the implementation of revised guidelines varies based on facility type. These findings offer important insights for the upcoming 2025 NCPR guideline revision and emphasize the need for targeted training and equitable resource distribution to improve neonatal outcomes.
