Influence of Perinatal Factors on Blood Tryptase and Fecal Calprotectin Levels in Newborns.

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
backgroundBlood tryptase and fecal calprotectin levels may serve as biomarkers of necrotizing enterocolitis. However, their interpretation may be hindered by the little-known effects of perinatal factors. The aim of this study was to compare the tryptase and calprotectin levels in newborns according to their term, trophicity, and sex.
methodOne hundred and fifty-seven premature newborns and 157 full-term newborns were included. Blood tryptase and fecal calprotectin were assayed.
resultsBlood tryptase levels were higher in premature than in full-term newborns (6.4 vs. 5.2 µg/L;
conclusionsThe differences in tryptase levels according to term could be linked to early aggression of the still-immature digestive wall in premature newborns, in particular, by enteral feeding started early. The unexpected influence of sex on fecal calprotectin levels remains unexplained.
