Trends in Palliative Care Consultation for Extremely Premature Neonate Nonsurvivors in the Intensive Care Unit.
Article in Palliative medicine reports. 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
Background: Extremely premature infants (<28 weeks gestational age) have a greater risk of mortality and, when they survive, higher rates of significant neurological disability and need for medical care. As a result, extremely premature infants and their families often benefit from early involvement of palliative care. Objectives: To identify possible associations between palliative care consultation and length of life, code status, and manner of death of extremely premature versus nonextremely premature neonates. Methods: A retrospective, cohort study of premature infants with a terminal admission at two academic medical centers in the southeastern United States. The primary hypothesis was that extreme prematurity was associated with receipt of a palliative care consultation. Secondary hypotheses examined the association between extreme prematurity with (1) time from admission to death and (2) code status and manner of death. Results: Extreme prematurity was associated with a lower likelihood of a palliative care consultation ( Conclusions: Infants born extremely premature were less likely to receive palliative care consultation during a terminal admission than older preterm infants. Considering the higher burden of comorbidities and later nature of consultation, extremely premature infants may benefit from earlier and more frequent integration of palliative care.
