In-Hospital Outcomes of Very Preterm and Very Low Birth Weight Neonates: A Multicenter Retrospective Study from India.
Article in Indian pediatrics, 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
objectiveTo determine the in-hospital neonatal outcomes of very preterm and very low birth weight (VLBW) neonates delivered in tertiary neonatal centres in India.
methodsThis retrospective study analyzed the in-hospital outcomes of very preterm (24
resultsA total of 1691 very preterm neonates with a mean (SD) gestational age of 29 (1.9) weeks were included. Survival on discharge rates were 8.7% at 24 weeks, 51% at 25 weeks, 67.2% at 26 weeks, 86.3% at 27 weeks, 89.8% at 28 weeks, 92.2% at 29 weeks, 93.5% at 30 weeks, 97.7% at 31 weeks. 87.8% very preterm neonates were alive on discharge; corresponding figures for extreme preterm and extremely low birth weight (ELBW) neonates were 64.4% and 66.3%, respectively. Morbidity rates were 4% (n = 67) for BPD, 2.4% (n = 40) for IVH grade 3 or more, 0.9% (n = 15) for cystic PVL, and 5.1% (n = 86) for ROP requiring treatment. The VLBW group included 1,754 neonates with a mean (SD) gestational age of 29.8 (2.8) weeks. Survival before discharge in the VLBW group was 88%.
conclusionThe survival and outcomes of very preterm and VLBW neonates from these tertiary neonatal centers in India were good.
