1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

The aim of this study was to present our experiences with, as well as the factors that affect, the treatment and outcome of patients with neonatal gastrointestinal perforations (GIPs). Thirty-eight newborn cases that were operated on for GIP in our hospital's tertiary newborn intensive care unit between January 2005 and December 2015 were retrospectively evaluated. The patients were divided into the two following groups: group 1, perforations related to necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), and group 2, non-NEC perforations. In total, 38 patients (16 males, 22 females) participated in this study. The perforations were related to NEC in 12 patients (group 1; 31.6 %), and the other 26 patients (group 2; 68.4 %) were classified as non-NEC perforation cases. The incidence of neonatal GIP was 0.53 % in all newborn patients, while the incidence of perforation in NEC cases was 20 %. Of all patients, 25 (65.7 %) were premature. Non-NEC pathologies were the most common cause of GIP (68.4 %) and included stomach perforation related to a nasogastric catheter (
