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

objectiveTo develop reference range for target oxygen saturation levels during the first 10 min of life in late preterm neonates born by cesarean delivery.

methodsA prospective observational study conducted at a tertiary hospital in India between April 2022 and September 2024 included 200 late preterm neonates delivered by cesarean section following delayed cord clamping. Preductal peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO

resultsThe mean (SD) gestational age and birth weight were 35.6 (1.3) weeks and 2260 (496) g, respectively. The median (q1, q3) preductal SpO

conclusionNearly one-fourth of healthy late preterm neonates did not reach the thresholds laid by the Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) until 5 min after birth, yet nearly all achieved the ≥ 85% threshold of SpO
