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

Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) can be a normal physiological process, or can be bothersome, when aerodigestive consequences are associated; the latter is often interpreted as GER disease (GERD). However, the distinction between these two entities remains an enigma among infants surviving after neonatal intensive care (NICU) care. Symptoms related to GERD are heterogeneous, and are often managed with changes in diet, feeding methods, and acid suppressive therapy. However, none of these approaches have been well-tested in neonates; hence practice variation is very high world-wide. In this paper, we explain the variation in diagnosis, pathophysiology of the clinical presentation, and highlight approaches to diagnosis and management.
