Growth trajectories and need for oral feeding support among infants with neonatal encephalopathy treated with therapeutic hypothermia.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveIdentify feeding supports required among infants with neonatal encephalopathy and determine growth trajectories to 3 years. STUDY
designSingle-center retrospective cohort study of 120 infants undergoing therapeutic hypothermia. Logistic regression and stratified analyses identified whether clinical factors, EEG-determined encephalopathy severity, and MRI-based brain injury predict feeding supports (nasogastric tube, oral feeding compensations) and growth.
results50.8% of infants required feeding supports in the hospital, decreasing to 14% at discharge. Moderate-to-severe encephalopathy and basal ganglia injury predicted feeding support needs. Yet, 35% of mildly encephalopathic infants required gavage tubes. Growth trajectories approximated expected growth of healthy infants.
conclusionInfants with neonatal encephalopathy-even if mild-frequently experience feeding difficulties during initial hospitalization. With support, most achieve full oral feeds by discharge and adequate early childhood growth. Clinical factors may help identify infants requiring feeding support, but do not detect all at-risk infants, supporting routine screening of this high-risk population.
