Improving extrauterine growth: evaluation of an optimized, standardized neonatal parenteral nutrition protocol.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectivePoor extrauterine growth in very low birth weight (VLBW) neonates is common and associated with worsened long-term outcomes. We aimed to decrease growth restriction, measured by the change in weight z-score from birth to 36 weeks post menstrual age, from - 1.13 (baseline) to < -1 within 12 months. STUDY
designThe Model for Improvement was used in the design and implementation of an optimized, standardized parenteral nutrition protocol. Three Plan-Do-Study-Act cycles were completed and a [Formula: see text] and S control chart was created for the primary outcome.
resultMean weight z-score change from birth to 36 weeks post menstrual age improved by 23% to - 0.87. Improvements in early weight gain and linear growth were seen as well.
conclusionUse of the Model for Improvement to implement an optimized, standardized parenteral nutrition protocol can help improve extrauterine growth among VLBW infants.
