Head Growth and Neurodevelopment of Preterm Infants with Surgical Necrotizing Enterocolitis and Spontaneous Intestinal Perforation.

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
Spontaneous intestinal perforation (SIP) and surgical necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) are intestinal conditions requiring surgical intervention in preterm infants. We aimed to compare the head growth and neurodevelopment of preterm infants with SIP and surgical NEC. A retrospective single-center study was performed in preterm infants born at less than 32 weeks of gestation and who had undergone surgery for NEC or SIP. Data from the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development 3rd Edition (Bayley-III) at 24 months of corrected age (CA) and the Korean Ages and Stages Questionnaire (K-ASQ) or Korean Developmental Screening Test (K-DST) at 36 months were collected. Among 82 eligible infants, 60 infants had surgical NEC, and 22 infants were diagnosed with SIP. Head growth was faster until CA 4 months in preterm infants with SIP than in those with surgical NEC. At 36 months, abnormal findings in the K-ASQ or K-DST were more prevalent in the NEC group than in the SIP group in the gross motor (48.2% vs. 0%,
