Respiratory Stabilization for Successful Intubation in Neonates: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Trial report 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
objectiveMaintenance of non-invasive respiratory support during endotracheal intubation (ETI) is a feasible intervention to prevent procedure-related physiological instability (PI) in neonates. However, the evidence for its use is conflicting. The present study evaluated the effects of continuing pre-existing respiratory support during ETI in neonates compared to standard care.
methodsNeonates (≥ 26 weeks) requiring ETI in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) were randomized to undergo ETI either on respiratory support (intervention; n = 75) or in room air (control; n = 75) using a computer-generated variable block random sequence, stratified according to gestational age (< 32 weeks and ≥ 32 weeks). Neonates with bradycardia (heart rate, HR < 100/minute), life-threatening congenital anomalies and those requiring intubation on emergency basis, were excluded. The primary outcome was first attempt successful intubation without PI (defined as desaturation, absolute fall in peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO
resultsThe baseline maternal and neonatal variables were comparable between both groups. The primary outcome was achieved in 73.3% and 62.7% of the neonates in the intervention and control group, respectively [relative risk (95% confidence interval) 1.3 (0.7-1.7); P = 0.161]. Minimum SpO
conclusionContinuation of pre-existing non-invasive respiratory support during ETI in neonates better maintained SpO
