Peripherally inserted central catheters optimize nutrient intake in moderately preterm infants.
Article in Pediatric research, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundWhile very preterm (<32 wk gestation) infants are routinely provided intensive nutritional support via central line, clinical practice varies for nutrient delivery in infants born moderately preterm (32-34 wk gestation). We sought to define the impact of nutritional support via peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) on nutrient delivery in the first 2 wk of life and growth by discharge.
methodsData were extracted from the records of 187 infants born between 32 and 34 6/7 wk gestation and admitted to the University of Iowa Children's Hospital between April 2012 and December 2013. Records of all feedings, weights, and PICC placements were collected. The growth outcomes at discharge for infants who received nutrition via PICC were compared to those who did not.
resultsIn the first week of life, newborns who received nutrition via PICC line received 17.6 more kilocalories (confidence interval (CI): 12.5-22.7, P < 0.001) and 1.2 more grams protein per kilogram body weight per day (CI: 0.9-1.4, P < 0.001) compared to control infants. By discharge, the PICC group had gained 302 g more body weight (P < 0.001).
conclusionThis study demonstrates superior nutrient intake and growth in the first 2 wk of life for infants who received nutrition via PICC line.
