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

objective(1) Determine national prevalence and predictors of donor milk programs among levels 2-4 advanced neonatal care facilities; (2) describe characteristics of donor milk programs. STUDY

designWe randomly selected 120 U.S. hospitals with levels 2-4 advanced neonatal care facilities among each of four U.S. regions and surveyed the medical directors from July 2017 to November 2017 regarding donor milk use. We weighted responses according to the number of birthing hospitals in each region.

resultsResponse rate was 213/480 (44%). Twenty-eight percent of level 2 and 88% of levels 3 and 4 neonatal care facilities had donor milk programs. Donor milk programs occurred more often in the South vs. Northeast (aOR 3.7 [1.1, 12.5] and less often in safety-net hospitals (≥75% Medicaid patients) vs. nonsafety-net hospitals (aOR 0.3 [0.1, 0.8]).

conclusionIn 2017, the vast majority of levels 3 and 4 neonatal care facilities had donor milk programs but disparities existed according to the safety-net hospital status and region.
