Heart Rate and Pulse Oximetry Dynamics in the First Week after Birth in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Patients and the Risk of Cerebral Palsy.
Article in American journal of perinatology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
objectiveInfants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) are at high risk of adverse neuromotor outcomes. Atypical patterns of heart rate (HR) and pulse oximetry (SpO STUDY
designThis was a retrospective study including patients admitted to a level IV NICU from 2009 to 2017 with archived cardiorespiratory data in the first 7 days from birth to follow-up at >2 years of age. The mean, standard deviation (SD), skewness, kurtosis and cross-correlation of HR and SpO
resultsSeventy infants with CP and 1,733 controls met inclusion criteria for a 3.8% population prevalence. Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for CP prediction was 0.7524 for the clinical model, 0.7419 for the vital sign model, and 0.7725 for the combined model. Variables included in the combined model were lower maternal age, outborn delivery, lower 5-minute Apgar's score, lower SD of HR, and more negative skewness of HR.
conclusionIn this study including NICU patients of all gestational ages, HR but not SpO KEY POINTS: · SD and skewness of HR have some added predictive value of later diagnosis of CP.. · SpO2 measures do not add to CP prediction.. · Combining clinical variables with early HR measures may improve the prediction of later CP..
