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

objectiveThe goal of this study was to assess the impact of infant-driven feeding (IDF) compared to traditional feeding protocols in promoting earlier successful feeding outcomes. STUDY

designWe performed a cross-sectional analysis of infants admitted to a level three neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) over a 2-year period. We compared infants fed with the traditional protocol to those under the IDF protocol.

resultsInfants in the IDF group were younger at first feed (p < 0.001). There was no difference in age at nasogastric (NG) tube removal or at discharge, length of stay, or percentage breastfeeding at discharge. There were no differences in outcomes within two subgroups born at <35 and <32 weeks gestation, respectively.

conclusionThe IDF program led to earlier initiation of oral feeding. However, this did not lead to earlier NG tube removal or discharge, a shorter length of stay, or increase in the rates of breastfeeding.
