Incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis in South Korea from 2007 to 2017.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
objectivesThe aim of this study was to investigate the trends of the incidence of and mortality from necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in South Korea.
methodsClaim data were extracted with diagnosis code, including all stage of NEC. Kaplan-Meier curves for cumulative mortality rates are presented by birth weight (Bwt) and gestational age (GA).
resultThe total number of NEC cases was 5840. The ratio of males to females was 1.2:1. There were 11.9 cases per 10,000 births. There were approximately 10 cases per 1000 preterm births and 50 per 1000 very preterm births. The mortality of patients born under 37 weeks decreased from 38.7% in 2007 to 20.9% in 2017. Male sex, lower GA, and lower Bwt were risk factors for mortality.
conclusionsNEC incidence and mortality have been decreasing over time in South Korea. Male sex, lower GA, and Bwt were risk factors for mortality.
