Variation in Stabilization and Resuscitation Practices at Birth of Preterm Infants Among 12 National or Regional Neonatal Networks.
Article in Acta paediatrica (Oslo, Norway : 1992), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
aimNeonatal resuscitation follows national or regional guidelines, but uptake varies in clinical practice. This study aimed to examine variations in reported delivery room practices for infants < 29 weeks' gestation across neonatal units in 12 networks of the International Network for Evaluating Outcomes in Neonates.
methodsAn online pre-piloted survey was sent to 608 neonatal units across 12 networks. Responses, based on 2022-2023 practices, were categorized as very frequent (90%-100%), often (50%-89%), sometimes (10%-49%), rarely (1%-9%), and never, and summarized as frequency of units per network.
resultsOverall, 382 units (63%) responded (37%-100% within network). Active resuscitation at 22, 23 and 24 weeks was reported as 'very frequent/often' by 22%, 53% and 76% of units, with variation. Delayed cord clamping, cord milking, and resuscitation with intact cord were 'very frequent/often' in 47%, 27% and 7% of units. Japan reported 75% cord milking. For initial respiratory support, 86% reported oxygen concentration < 40%. Intubation at birth for infants 27-28 weeks was uncommon except in Japan. Surfactant delivery room use was reported by 24% of units.
conclusionsDelivery room management of very preterm infants varies across networks. Future studies should analyse the impact of reported delivery room practices on neonatal outcomes.
