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
Objectives: Neonatal infections, which continue to be a major cause of morbidity and mortality globally, can be avoided with proper umbilical cord care. There is still no widely recognized standard for cord care despite numerous antiseptic techniques, and the hunt for safe, natural, and efficient substitutes is becoming necessary. In this regard, OZOILE, a formulation based on stable ozonides with wound-healing and antibacterial qualities, may be a viable choice. The purpose of this study was to retrospectively assess the impact of topical OZOILE on the timing of umbilical cord detachment and the avoidance or reduction of infection-related problems in newborns. Methods: The study was conducted in the Complex Operational Unit of Neonatology and Neonatal Intensive Care of the "Annunziata" Hospital-Cosenza (Italy) and included healthy newborns with a gestational age from the 35th to the 41st weeks of gestation, born to mothers with age ranging from 18 to 40 years. Results: Daily application of OZOILE spray oil, directly to the umbilical cord 3 times a day was able the stump fell off in a short time from 5 to 7 days and without any complications. OZOILE reduces secondary alterations of falling umbilical stump. Conclusions: In conclusion, OZOILE intervention could be a good candidate for umbilical cord care.
