Outcome of patients with gastroschisis managed with and without multidisciplinary teams in Canada.

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 describe the outcomes of gastroschisis (GS) patients managed with and without a multidisciplinary team during the postoperative period in Canada.
methodThe Canadian Pediatric Surgery Network (CAPSNet) collects patient data from all Canadian tertiary perinatal centres. The outcomes of 396 GS patients born between 2005 and 2009 who were managed with and without a multidisciplinary team were analyzed.
resultsSignificantly more parenteral nutrition (PN) days (P=0.003) and longer lengths of stay (P=0.018) were observed among patients in centres with multidisciplinary teams. Higher mortality rate and earlier death were observed in centres without multidisciplinary teams, especially for high-risk patients, although this was not statistically significant. With regard to low-risk patients, those in centres with multidisciplinary teams had significantly more PN days (P=0.019).
conclusionsGS patients managed by multidisciplinary teams had significantly more PN days and longer lengths of stay compared with patients who were not managed by multidisciplinary teams. This difference may be due to improved survival of high-risk patients in centres with multidisciplinary teams, and a uniform feeding approach for all patients.
