Association of Day-1 Hemoglobin Oxygen Affinity (p50) with Severe Intraventricular Hemorrhage in Preterm Infants.
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
objectiveThe partial pressure of oxygen at which hemoglobin is saturated at 50% (p50) reflects the balance between oxygen loading and tissue unloading. This study was conducted to ascertain if a lower p50 is linked to a greater incidence of severe intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in preterm infants.
methodsThis retrospective cohort study included very preterm infants (≤ 32 weeks' gestation) admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit between January 1, 2020 and December 31, 2023. p50 was obtained from the first arterial blood gas, measured within 12h after birth. IVH was graded using cranial ultrasonography according to the Papile classification; severe IVH was defined as grades III-IV. Multivariable logistic regression models adjusted for gestational age, sex, early-onset sepsis, and invasive ventilation exposure were used to ascertain role of hemoglobin p50 for predicting severe IVH in very preterm infants.
resultsOut of 290 eligible infants [mean (SD) gestational age: 28.4 (2.6) weeks; mean (SD) birth weight: 1210 (365 g], 230 (79%) had no IVH, 26 (9%) had mild IVH, and 34 (12%) had severe IVH. The median day-1 p50 decreased with increasing IVH severity (no IVH: 21.5 mmHg; mild IVH: 18.7 mmHg; severe IVH: 16.0 mmHg; P < 0.001). In adjusted models, lower day-1 p50 was independently associated with severe IVH (adjusted odds ratio 1.38 per 1 mmHg decrease; 95%CI 1.09-1.82; P = 0.012).
conclusionsLower day-1 p50 is independently associated with severe IVH in very preterm infants.
