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

Provision of adequate nutrition is a cornerstone of the management of infants and very young children with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Very young children with CKD frequently have poor spontaneous nutritional intake. Because growth depends strongly on nutrition during early childhood, growth in very young children with CKD is often suboptimal. In this review we will consider the mechanisms and manifestations of inadequate nutritional status in very young children with CKD, mechanisms mediating inadequate nutritional intake, and the optimal nutritional management of this special population. In addition, we suggest an approach to the assessment of nutritional status, including the use of body mass index in infants. Five major nutritional components are considered: energy, macronutrients, fluids and electrolytes, micronutrients, and calcium/phosphorus/vitamin D. The use of adjunctive therapies, including appetite stimulants, treatment of gastroesophageal reflux and gastric dysmotility, enhanced dialytic clearance, and growth hormone, is also briefly discussed.
