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

Melena neonatorum is not uncommon; it presents as bloody stool in newborns and is caused by ingestion of maternal blood. This case presents an infant who had multiple episodes of copious amount of blood in his stool starting at 10 min of life, which raised multiple concerns requiring further investigation. The alkali denaturation test confirmed that the blood was maternal; however, due to the amount of bloody stool and the time required for the alkali denaturation test to result, further workups such as abdominal radiograph and hemoglobin/hematocrit were completed to ensure nothing was overlooked. Our infant remained clinically stable under the newborn nursery care, and did not require a higher level of care. He was discharged with his mother at 52 Hours of Life with a follow-up appointment the next day with the Primary Care Physician.
