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

Fifteen infants with birth weights below 1500 g, who required intravenous feeding from birth, were given one of two regimens differing only in their calcium and phosphate content. The duration of intravenous feeding varied from 26 to 75 days, and infants were studied after the age of 10 days when growth could be expected to have started. Five infants were given regimen A, which provided calcium and phosphate intakes of 0.55 and 0.44 mmol/kg/day, and 10 received regimen B, which provided intakes of 1.08 and 0.89 mmol/kg/day, respectively. Infants given regimen A had lower plasma and urine phosphate but similar urine calcium excretion to those given regimen B. Plasma calcium concentrations were higher in infants on regimen A than regimen B. In infants given regimen B plasma phosphate concentration was inversely related to weight gain, and urine phosphate and calcium concentrations were significantly correlated with urine sodium results.
