Prevention of postnatal growth restriction by the implementation of an evidence-based premature infant feeding bundle.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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 develop an evidence-based feeding bundle to safely decrease the rate of PNGR in VLBW infants. STUDY
designThe bundle was developed and implemented in January 2010, followed by 3 years of monitoring bundle compliance and infant outcomes (days to first feed (FD), days to reach full feeds (FF), and birth-discharge growth trajectories (delta z-score)).
resultsData were collected on 482 infants (119 pre-bundle). PNGR decreased from 35% to 19% (P<0.01) and weight delta z-score improved from -0.82 to -0.45 (P<0.001). Percentage of infants with head circumference (HC) below 10th percentile at discharge decreased from 21% to 9% (P<0.01) and HC delta z-score improved from -0.65 to -0.17 (P<0.001). FD and FF also decreased significantly. Rates of necrotizing enterocolitis, peak alkaline phosphatase and peak direct bilirubin levels all trended downward.
conclusionsAn evidence-based, standardized feeding bundle was safe and effective in reducing the rate of PNGR and in improving head growth in VLBW infants.
