Abdominal Near Infrared Spectroscopy can be reliably used to measure splanchnic oxygenation changes in preterm infants.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2023. 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
objectiveNear-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) allows assessment of regional tissue oxygen delivery and extraction. There are doubts regarding reliability of gut NIRS measurements. This study assesses reliability of NIRS for monitoring gut oxygenation. STUDY
designSplanchnic tissue haemoglobin index (sTHI), tissue oxygenation index (sTOI) and fractional tissue oxygen extraction (sFTOE) changes during blood transfusion were measured using NIRS and compared to stable control infants. Infants were grouped into 3 chronological age groups: 1-7, 8-28 and ≥29 days of life.
resultssTHI, sTOI significantly increased, and sFTOE reduced following blood transfusion in all age group infants (n = 59), with no changes seen in control infants (n = 12). Baseline characteristics including gestational age and feed volumes did not differ between groups.
conclusionGut perfusion measured by NIRS improved in infants who received blood transfusion, a change not seen in the control group, thus suggesting NIRS is a reliable method to measure splanchnic tissue oxygenation.
