1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundResearch evaluating the impact of pediatric palliative care (PPC) consultation on care utilization in the NICU is limited.

objectivesDescribe the impact of PPC on care utilization during admission and end-of-life (EOL).

methodsRetrospective review of infants who died in a level IV NICU (2014-2024). Mann-Whitney U, Chi-square, and Fisher's exact tests and regression analysis were used to evaluate associations between PPC and medical intensity.

results65/127 (51.2%) infants received PPC. Infants with PPC had significantly longer lengths of stay (LOS), more subspecialty consultations, more do-not-resuscitate orders (DNR), fewer codes, and differences in mode of death. In regression analyses, PPC predicted higher odds of DNR orders, fewer EOL ICU/surgical interventions and codes at EOL.

conclusionPPC is associated with longer LOS and more subspecialists throughout admission but lower medical intensity at EOL. Different measures of care utilization may reflect dynamic interactions between PPC consultants and medically complex infants over time.
