Snap II and Snappe II scores as predictors of mortality in a level III neonatal intensive care unit in India: an observational study.
Article in Sudanese journal of paediatrics, 2025. 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
The predictive utility of Score for Neonatal Acute Physiology (SNAP) II and SNAP-Perinatal Extension (SNAPPE) II scores has not yet been validated in regions contributing significantly to the national neonatal mortality rate of India such as the Eastern Zone of Uttar Pradesh. The cut-off value of these scores varies with the institution. The use of unit-specific cut-off values leads to better prediction of neonatal mortality with improved specificity and sensitivity. To assess the validity of SNAP II and SNAPPE-II scoring systems and compare these two methods for predicting mortality in newborns admitted to neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), prospective observational study was conducted from July 2018 to June 2019. Newborns admitted within 24 hours of birth with > 12-hour length of hospital stay in NICU were included. Babies with major congenital malformations and whose parents did not give consent were excluded. The variables for SNAP II and SNAPPE II scores were collected within the window period of the first 12 hours. The mean SNAP-II and SNAPPE II score was 38.5 ± 18.3 and 51.1 ± 25.7 among expired babies compared to survived babies with a mean score of 15.79 ± 13.6 and 18.52 ± 16.3, respectively. Both of these scores had a strong correlation with patients' survival (p < 0.001). The SNAP II score of ≥ 27 and SNAPPE-II score of ≥39 had a sensitivity of 81% and 73% and specificity of 80.6% and 88.6%, respectively for predicting neonatal mortality. Both SNAP II and SNAPPE II are useful tools for predicting NICU neonatal mortality.
