Probiotics for Preterm Infants in India - Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.
Synthesis in Indian journal of pediatrics, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
The objective of the present study is to review current evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of probiotics for preterm infants in India. A systematic review of RCTs of probiotics for preterm infants in India was conducted using Cochrane methodology and PRISMA guidelines. Fixed effects model was used for meta-analysis. Nine RCTs (n = 1514) were included. Meta-analysis showed reduced risk of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) ≥ Stage II {Risk ratio (RR): 0
