Outcome of infants born at < 32 weeks' gestation in a single-centre level III neonatology unit - relation to feeding strategy.
Trial report in The Journal of international medical research, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveThis study aimed to determine survival, neonatal morbidity, and outcomes at 1 and 2 years in children who were born very preterm, and to analyse any relation to enteral feeding.
methodsWe performed a prospective, observational study on very preterm infants (range: 23-31 weeks' gestation) born at Innsbruck Medical University Hospital, Austria, between 2007 and 2014 (n = 557).
resultsThe overall survival rate was 94.6%. Survival rates were 77.8%, 78.6%, 90.9%, and 90.9% among those born at 24, 25, 26, and 27 weeks, and 97.3%, 95.3%, 98.3%, and 100% among those born at 28, 29, 30, and 31 weeks of gestation, respectively. The overall prevalence of chronic lung disease among survivors was 7.3%. The prevalence of necrotizing enterocolitis requiring surgery, intraventricular haemorrhage grades 3 and 4, and severe retinopathy of prematurity was 3.1%, 2.1%, and 6.2%, respectively. There was no difference in short-term morbidity or neurodevelopmental outcome at 1 or 2 years of corrected age between infants who were fed with human milk at discharge and those who were formula-fed.
conclusionIn the current study, mortality and short-term morbidity rates were low. No differences regarding feeding strategy were detected.
