Sudden Unexpected Postnatal Collapse in the Netherlands: A National Registry Study.
Article in Neonatology, 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
introductionSudden unexpected postnatal collapse (SUPC) is a rare and potentially life-threatening event with variable reported incidences, mostly derived from in-hospital data. This study investigated the incidence, aetiology, and circumstances of SUPC in the Netherlands and assessed differences between in-hospital and home settings.
methodsData concerning SUPC cases were obtained through a web-based registry managed by the Dutch Paediatric Surveillance Unit from April 2019 to April 2022. SUPC was defined as a collapse within 24 h of birth requiring resuscitation with at least positive pressure ventilation in infants born at ≥35 weeks of gestation and with a 5-min Apgar score ≥8.
resultsOf 94 registered SUPC cases, 60 met inclusion criteria: 52 cases occurred in hospital and 8 at home. The annual incidence ranged between 7 and 17 per 100,000 live births, with an average of 11 per 100,000. Median time to collapse was 64 min, with over two-thirds occurring within 2 h of birth. Collapses occurring at home occurred significantly later than those in hospital (165 min vs. 60 min; p < 0.05) and were associated with substantially higher mortality rates (37.5% vs. 6%; p < 0.05). Approximately half of all SUPC cases involved possible or definite airway obstruction, which - compared with other aetiologies - was more often related to preventable factors like reduced maternal vigilance and covering of the infant's nose and mouth.
conclusionsSUPC occurs in hospitals and at home, with later onset and higher mortality outside the hospital. Greater awareness and prevention are needed in both settings.
