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 study compared neurodevelopmental outcome at 3 years of age of infants with infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS) who underwent pyloromyotomy with healthy control infants in New South Wales, Australia.

methodsInfants with IHPS as well as controls were recruited between August 2006 and July 2008. Developmental assessments were performed using the Bayley scales of infant and toddler development (version III) (BSITD-III) at 1 and 3 years of age.

resultsOf the 43 infants originally assessed at 1 year, 39 returned for assessment at 3 years (90%). The majority were term infants (77%). Assessments were also performed on 156 control infants. Infants with IHPS scored significantly lower on four of the five Bayley subsets (cognitive, receptive and expressive language and fine motor) compared to control infants. Analysis of co-variance showed statistically significant results in favour of the control group for these four subsets.

conclusionCompared with the outcomes at 1 year, infants with IHPS at 3 years of age continue to score below controls in four of the BSITD-III subscales. This suggests they should have developmental follow-up with targeted clinical intervention. There is a need for further studies into functional impact and longer term outcomes.
