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

purpose of reviewThis review aims to highlight background of contributing factors for suboptimal nutrition in individuals with spina bifida and introduce strategies for amelioration. RECENT

findingsRecent studies demonstrate increased risk of metabolic syndrome by neurosegmental level, which is associated with truncal obesity and reduced mobility. From the neonatal intensive care stay, which may disrupt breast feeding and the developing microbiome of the gastrointestinal tract, to early childhood various insults may lead to suboptimal feeding practices, preferences and dietary intake. Family coping skills, financial stressors may lead to food insecurity and/or residence in an area with limited availability of fresh food. As children grow, weakness and challenging transfers may lead to more sedentary lifestyle and weight gain despite limited linear growth. Body habitus changes including atrophy of the lower extremities may lead to decreased muscle mass and reduced energy expenditure, with predisposition to truncal obesity and metabolic syndrome.
