Inadequate oral feeding as a barrier to discharge in moderately preterm infants.
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. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 24 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.

Abstract
objectivesThe objectives describe the frequency that inadequate oral feeding (IOF) is the reason why moderately preterm (MPT) infants remain hospitalized and its association with neonatal morbidities. STUDY
designProspective study using the NICHD Neonatal Research Network MPT Registry. Multivariable logistic regression was used to describe associations between IOF and continued hospitalization at 36 weeks postmenstrual age (PMA).
resultA total of 6017 MPT infants from 18 centers were included. Three-thousand three-seventy-six (56%) remained hospitalized at 36 weeks PMA, of whom 1262 (37%) remained hospitalized due to IOF. IOF was associated with RDS (OR 2.02, 1.66-2.46), PDA (OR 1.86, 1.37-2.52), sepsis (OR 2.36, 95% 1.48-3.78), NEC (OR 16.14, 7.27-35.90), and BPD (OR 3.65, 2.56-5.21) compared to infants discharged and was associated with medical NEC (OR 2.06, 1.19-3.56) and BPD (OR 0.46, 0.34-0.61) compared to infants remaining hospitalized for an alternative reason.
conclusionIOF is the most common barrier to discharge in MPT infants, especially among those with neonatal morbidities.
