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

Increased survival of preterm infants born <28 weeks' gestation brings new challenges for healthcare teams and families, particularly in the absence of high-quality, population-specific evidence to guide optimal skin care. Skin integrity is critical for preventing infection, reducing pain, and minimizing fluid loss. However, variations in care, delivery models, geographic settings, and clinician expertise continue to influence outcomes-impacting both immediate survival, long-term morbidity and mortality. This review outlines the key challenges associated with delivering safe and effective skin care for extremely preterm infants; identifies priority areas for research and benchmarking, and proposes a collaborative approach to address these gaps. The Skin InteGrity in extreme preterms research NETwork (SIGNET) collaborative seeks to align outcome measures, generate essential physiological data, promote knowledge exchange, and develop practical, evidence-based tools to support consistent, high-quality care for these uniquely vulnerable patients.
