Diagnostic accuracy of an over-the-counter infant pulse oximeter for cardiorespiratory events.
Observational study in Archives of disease in childhood. Fetal and neonatal edition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05774470 (Bradycardia Recognition and Detection in Young Infants Using the Owlet OSS 3.0 Monitor), which is not on this map. Cited by 2 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.

Abstract
objectiveTo determine the diagnostic accuracy of an over-the-counter infant pulse oximeter for cardiorespiratory events.
designSingle-centre prospective diagnostic accuracy study.
settingUniversity of Alabama at Birmingham. PATIENTS: Infants weighing ≥1500 g, <44 weeks' postmenstrual age (PMA) and off ventilator/continuous positive airway pressure support.
interventionsTest device for 48 hours in addition to standard hospital monitors, ECG and pulse oximetry.
main outcome measuresData were time aligned and analysed using MATLAB. The coprimary outcomes were the diagnostic accuracy of the test device for the detection of events with heart rate (HR) <50 beats per minute (bpm) and events with oxygen saturations (SpO
results66 infants with a median gestational age of 31 weeks (range 23-40) were studied at a median 35 weeks' PMA (range 32-42) weighing 1930 g (range 1500-3605 g) from April to July 2023. The sensitivity for detection of HR <50 bpm ≥3 s was 6% and 39% for smoothed and raw data, respectively, while the specificity was >99% for both smoothed and raw data. The sensitivity for SpO
conclusionAn over-the-counter infant pulse oximeter had high specificity for bradycardia and hypoxaemia events consistent with a low false alarm rate. Sensitivity improved with longer events and higher event thresholds. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT05774470.
