Neonatal Sequential Organ Failure Assessment Score (nSOFA) for Prediction of Mortality Among Preterm Neonates with Respiratory Distress Syndrome: A Prospective Observational Study.

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
Preterm birth is a major contributor to neonatal morbidity and mortality. This study evaluated the neonatal Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (nSOFA) score for predicting mortality in preterm neonates (< 34 weeks) with respiratory distress syndrome. Among 113 neonates, median (q1, q3) nSOFA scores at 0-6 h of life were higher in non-survivors than survivors [4 (4, 6) vs 0 (0, 2); P = 0.001], with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.80 and a cutoff of 3. Predictive performance improved at 24 ± 3 h (AUC 0.93), with higher scores in non-survivors [8 (5, 11) vs 0 (0, 2); P < 0.001] and a cutoff of 4. Neonates with composite morbidity had significantly higher nSOFA scores at both time points.
