Nutritional outcomes following gastrostomy in children with cystic fibrosis.
Article in Pediatric pulmonology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveIn 2005 the Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Foundation recommended that children with CF maintain a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 50th percentile. Our study evaluated if gastrostomy (GT) placement increases the likelihood of reaching that goal compared to a standardized nutrition protocol. STUDY
designRetrospective study of 20 children with CF ages 2-20 years with GTs placed from 2005 to 2010. Each case was pair-matched on age, sex, pancreatic status, BMI, and lung function with a nonGT child with CF. Outcome measures included nutritional status and lung function at 6 months and 1 year.
resultsAt baseline, mean ± SD BMI Z-scores were similar (cases -1.19 ± 0.60, controls -1.10 ± 0.50; P = 0.10). Cases had a significant 6-month increase in mean BMI Z-score to -0.29 ± 0.84 compared to -1.02 ± 0.67 for controls (P < 0.001). By 1 year, the change in mean BMI Z-score was less different (cases -0.41 ± 0.76, controls -0.71 ± 0.51; P = 0.07). Both groups had stable lung function. From exact logistic regression analysis, the odds ratio for cases compared to controls of reaching BMI ≥ 50th percentile was 9.70 (95% CI: 1.05-484.7; P = 0.04) at 6 months and 3.65 (95%CI: 0.69-25.86; P = 0.16) at 1 year.
conclusionOur study suggests that children with CF who receive GTs are more likely to achieve BMI ≥ 50th percentile than matched children without GTs.
