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

objectiveTo evaluate the growth of premature infants fed a postdischarge diet of human milk (HM) complemented with transitional formula (TF) as compared with those fed TF only. STUDY

designIn this prospective cohort study, 51 infants' diets and anthropometrics were collected at discharge and at 12-15 months corrected gestational age.

resultsPost discharge, infants in both groups exhibited similar growth velocities and changes in z-scores. The duration of infants' HM consumption was not correlated with weight gain (r = -0.25, p = 0.26). The duration of complementary TF feeds also did not correlate with increased growth (r = -0.11, p = 0.44). Both groups achieved catch-up growth and displayed growth velocities that significantly exceeded the upper limit of the World Health Organization (WHO) weight growth standard (p < 0.001).

conclusionsPreterm infants receiving HM and complementary TF post discharge had growth velocities at or exceeding weight gain projected by the WHO growth standard for term infants.
