Real-time bowel ultrasound to characterize intestinal motility in the preterm neonate.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveTo characterize normal patterns of intestinal motility by ultrasound (US) in the preterm neonate during the first 5 days of life. STUDY
designBowel US examinations were performed with an US machine (Vivid-i, General Electric) equipped with a 13-MHz linear and 7 MHz sector transducer. Still images and clips were taken from all abdominal quadrants along with Doppler of the superior mesenteric artery. Cumulative motility (CM) was quantified for each patient. Comparisons were made between CM for each day of life. Inter-observer correlations were made using the intra-class correlation coefficient. Notation was made of feeding status, bowel sounds and clinical demographics.
resultTwenty infants were enrolled in the study. Seventeen infants had 5 days of complete US results available. Mean CM visualized on day of life (DOL) 1 was 28±12. By DOL 4 (38±17, P=0.006) and DOL 5 (41±20, P=0.008) mean CM increased. There was no difference in the resistance index on days imaged. Mean CM correlated with days to reach full feeds and gestational age, but gestational age was a stronger predictor of days to reach full feeds. Intra-observer correlation coefficient was 0.84.
conclusionReal-time US provides a quantitative measure of intestinal motility in the preterm infant. Further studies are needed to establish the link between bowel US findings and feeding tolerance.
