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

purposeThe number of infants with gastroschisis is increasing worldwide, but advances in neonatal intensive care and parenteral nutrition have reduced gastroschisis mortality. Recent clinical data on gastroschisis are often from Western nations. This study aimed to examine clinical features and practice patterns of gastroschisis in Japan.

methodsWe examined treatment options, outcomes, and discharge status among inpatients with simple gastroschisis (SG) and complex gastroschisis (CG), 2010-2016, using a national inpatient database in Japan.

resultsThe 247 eligible patients (222 with SG) had average birth weight of 2102 g and average gestational age of 34 weeks; 30% had other congenital anomalies. Digestive anomalies were most common, followed by circulatory anomalies. In-hospital mortality was 8.1%. The median age at start of full enteral feeding was 30 days. The median length of stay was 46 days. There were no significant differences in outcomes except for length of stay, starting full enteral feeding and total hospitalization costs between the SG and CG groups. About 80% of patients were discharged to home without home medical care. The readmission rate was 28%.

conclusionThis study's findings on the clinical characteristics and outcomes of gastroschisis are useful for the clinical management of gastroschisis.
