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

Tube feeding is a life-saving treatment for children with neurological disabilities (ND), who often suffer from malnutrition and feeding disorders. Nonetheless, it is still not widely used. Our aim was to evaluate the outcomes of exclusive tube feeding in a cohort of ND children. All consecutive ND children who started tube feeding at our center within the last 5 years were included in this retrospective study. Weight-for-age, body mass index (BMI), mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) Z-scores, and symptoms were collected at baseline (V0), 6 (V1), and 12 months (V2) after gastrostomy placement. Fifty children (62% males) were included. The ND-underlying disease was genetic (
