Prevention of protein deprivation in the extremely low birth weight infant: a nutritional emergency.
Article in Proceedings (Baylor University. Medical Center), 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Insufficient nutrient supply in preterm infants and protein deprivation in particular can represent a nutritional emergency. It can cause many of the features of the starvation response, including insulin resistance and hyperglycemia, as well as growth failure and neurological injury. At Baylor University Medical Center, we began providing intravenous protein on the first day of life to extremely low birth weight infants in 2000. This has led to significant improvements in the time to regain birth weight and the rate of daily weight gain during the first month of life. While neonatologists traditionally focus first on newborns' warmth, respiratory support, and cardiovascular support, early aggressive nutrition support, in the form of intravenous amino acids at time of admission as well as glucose, is of great benefit and should be a standard element in the initial care of the extremely low birth weight infant.
