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

Objectives: To explore risk factors for Stage-III necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC-III) in preterm neonates. Methods: This was a retrospective case-control study of neonates born <33 weeks gestational age (GA) who were admitted to a tertiary neonatal intensive care unit, between 2015 and 2018. NEC-III cases were compared with Stage-II NEC (NEC-II) and non-NEC controls. Two to four non-NEC controls were matched by GA ± 1 week and date of birth ± 3 months, to one NEC-III case. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to examine risk factors for NEC-III. Results: Of 1360 neonates born <33 weeks, 71 (5.2%) had NEC-II and above, with 46% being NEC-III. Mean age of onset of NEC-III was 13.7 days versus 23.9 days for NEC-II ( Conclusion: The increased association of NEC-III with duration of UAC and ROM could be further examined in prospective studies, and an upper limit for UAC duration could be considered in NEC prevention bundles.
