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

We aimed to measure the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of children with neurological impairment (NI) on home enteral nutrition (HEN). An original survey among the caregivers of NI children on HEN for ≥ 12 months followed in three Italian centers (Messina, Como and Varese) was carried out between January 2013 and September 2018. The questionnaire was made up of 12 issues focused on the frequency with which certain situations associated with HEN are perceived, and grouped into physical and psychological/social dimensions. The results were analyzed statistically according to the age of the children, underlying disease, and the HEN programs' duration. In total, 80 caregivers were approached, and 75 surveys were completed (an overall response rate of 93.7%). Nearly all the caregivers reported a satisfying HRQoL, ranging from acceptable (
