Risk of Necrotizing Enterocolitis Following Packed Red Blood Cell Transfusion in Very Low Birth Weight Infants.
Article in Indian journal of pediatrics, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
objectiveTo evaluate the association between red blood cell (RBC) transfusion leading to necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) within 48 h, known as transfusion-associated necrotizing enterocolitis (TANEC).
methodsA nested case-control study using historical data was conducted in the neonatal intensive care unit of Songklanagarind Hospital, Thailand. All very low birth weight (VLBW) infants delivered between November 2009 and July 2016 were enrolled. The infants were identified as RBC transfusion received and NEC developed. Logistic regression was used to evaluate risk factors for transfusion and the association between RBC transfusion and NEC.
resultsFour hundred and forty-four VLBW infants were enrolled in the study. The median (interquartile range) gestational age was 29 (27, 31) wk. The overall incidence of NEC was 13%. Three (5.2%) of the NEC infants had TANEC. The infants who received RBC transfusion had a lower gestational age [odds ratio, OR 0.64; 95% confidence interval (95%CI) 0.57, 0.73, p < 0.001] and were more likely to have pneumonia (OR 9.86; 95%CI 5.02, 19.35, p < 0.001) or to have received H
conclusionsAfter controlling of confounders, no evidence of association was found between RBC transfusion and TANEC.
