Reducing time to initiation and advancement of enteral feeding in an all-referral neonatal intensive care unit.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveDecrease time to enteral feeding initiation and advancement. STUDY
designIn our all-referral neonatal intensive care unit, we developed an evidence-based guideline addressing feeding initiation and advancement. During 6 months before and 7 months after guideline implementation, we measured time to initiate feeding, time to 100 ml/kg/day of feeding, gastric residual measurement frequency, and incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis (balancing measure).
resultTwo hundred twenty-three infants were studied. Time from admission to feeding initiation was shorter after guideline implementation (mean 0.5 days [95% CI: 0.4-0.7] vs. 1.1 days [95% CI: 0.7-1.5], p = 0.01). Time from admission to 100 ml/kg/day feeding was also shorter (3.6 days [95% CI: 2.8-4.4] vs. 6.2 days [95% CI: 4.4-8.1], p = 0.01). After guideline implementation, routine gastric residual measurements were discontinued.
conclusionAfter implementation of an enteral feeding guideline, which included discontinuation of routine gastric residual assessment, we observed a faster initiation of enteral feeding and shorter time to reach 100 ml/kg/day.
