Pre-discharge Outcomes of Very Preterm and Very Low Birth Weight Infants from a Tertiary Care Neonatal Center in India.
Article in Indian journal of 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
objectivesThis study reports pre-discharge survival and clinical outcomes of very preterm infants (VPI) and very low birth weight (VLBW) infants from a tertiary-care, inborn neonatal unit in India.
methodsIn this retrospective study, inborn neonates admitted between 2013 and 2022 over a 10-y period were included. VLBW group included infants with birth weight (BW) of 500-1499 g with GA ≥26 wk and VPI group included infants with 26
resultsA total of 2063 VLBW infants and 1663 VPI were analyzed. In the VLBW group, the mean GA and birth weight were 30.4 wk and 1173 g, respectively. Survival was 90.6% among VLBW infants and 76.9% among extremely low birth weight infants. Major morbidities included late-onset culture-positive sepsis (LOS: 18.1%), intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) ≥ Grade II (7.1%), and retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) requiring treatment (2.2%). In the VPI group, mean GA and birth weight were 30.0 wk and 1180 g. Survival rates were 89.1% for VPI and 66.8% for the extremely preterm subgroup. Rates of LOS, IVH ≥ Grade II, ROP requiring treatment, and bronchopulmonary dysplasia in VPI were 20.9%, 8.8%, 2.5%, and 2.9%, respectively.
conclusionsVery preterm and VLBW infants demonstrated high survival with low rates of major morbidities. However, improvement in survival at lower gestational ages remains a key area for improvement.
