T-tube ileostomy for intestinal perforation in extremely low birth weight neonates.
Article in Pediatric surgery international, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
To evaluate the results of use of T-tube ileostomy in selected cases of intestinal perforation in extremely low birth weight (ELBW) neonates. The records of 288 ELBW neonates treated at author's institution, from 1998 to 2003 were retrospectively reviewed to identify neonates operated for intestinal perforation with T-tube placement. T-tube was inserted into the bowel through the site of perforation or proximally to the perforated gut via separate stab incision. T-tubes were used in five ELBW neonates (BW 600-900 g, gestational age 25-27 weeks) with intestinal perforation, in four of them at the time of primary surgery and in one neonate 8 days after primary anastomosis. All patients survived and there were no serious complications related to the T-tube insertion. Median duration of T-tube placement was 4 weeks (range 3-8 weeks), full enteral feeding after T-tube insertion was achieved in 4 weeks (range 1-6 weeks). All sites of T-tube insertion closed spontaneously. T-tube ileostomy is an effective and safe technique for treatment of selected cases of intestinal perforation in ELBW neonates. With respect to the hypoperistalsis of immature bowel, we recommend the use of T-tube in all cases of isolated intestinal perforation in ELWB neonates.
