Factors Associated with Delayed Transition to Oral Feeding in Infants with Single Ventricle Physiology.
Article in The Journal of pediatrics, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesTo describe the duration of time to achieve exclusive oral feeding in infants with single ventricle physiology and to identify risk factors associated with prolonged gastrostomy tube dependence. STUDY
designSingle center, retrospective study of infants with single ventricle physiology. The primary outcome was duration of time required to achieve oral feeding. Transition periods were defined as exclusive oral feeding by Glenn palliation (early), by 1 year of age (mid), or after 1 year of age (late).
resultsSeventy-eight infants were analyzed; 46 (59%) were discharged to home with a gastrostomy tube after the initial hospitalization. Overall, 39 infants (50%) achieved early transition, 14 (18%) mid, and 18 (23%) late. The group who achieved early transition had a higher percentage of preoperative oral feeding (P < .01), greater weight-for-age z score at initial discharge (P = .03), shorter initial intensive care unit duration (P < .01), shorter initial hospital length of stay (P < .01), and greater weight-for-age z score at Glenn admission (P = .02). No preoperative oral feeding (OR = 0.12, P = .02) and greater number of cardiac medications at initial discharge (OR = 3.8, P = .03) were associated with failure to achieve early transition. No preoperative oral feeding (OR = 0.09, P = .01) and longer initial intensive care unit duration (OR = 1.1, P = .03) were associated with failure to achieve mid transition.
conclusionPreoperative oral feeding may potentially be a modifiable factor to help improve early transition to oral feeding.
