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

Recombinant human insulin plays an important role in the gut maturation of preterm infants. This meta-analysis was carried out to assess the efficacy and safety of enteral recombinant human insulin in decreasing the time to full enteral feeding in preterm infants. The pooling of data from four clinical trials yielded a significant decrease in the time to full enteral feeding in preterm infants under both low (Mean difference [MD] -3.43 days; 95% CI: -6.18 to -0.69 days; I2 = 48%) and high doses of insulin (MD -7.10 days; 95% CI: -10.02 to -4.18 days; I2 = 0%). These findings require confirmation by further large trials that evaluate the efficacy and safety of enteral insulin, especially at supraphysiological doses.
