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

Prior to birth, the neonate has limited exposure to pathogens. The transition from the intra-uterine to the postnatal environment initiates a series of complex interactions between the newborn host and a variety of potential pathogens that persist over the first few weeks of life. This transition is particularly complex in the case of the premature and very low birth weight infant, who may be susceptible to many disorders as a result of an immature and underdeveloped immune system. Chief amongst these disorders is necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), an acute inflammatory disorder that leads to necrosis of the intestine, and which can affect multiple systems and have the potential to result in long term effects if the infant is to survive. Here, we examine what is known about the interplay of the immune system with the maternal uterine environment, microbes, nutritional and other factors in the pathogenesis of neonatal pathologies such as NEC, while also taking into consideration the effects on the long-term health of affected children.
