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

objectiveTo assess the impact of prophylactic dextrose gel on short-term outcomes in infants at risk for hypoglycemia.

methodsRetrospective, single-center, observational study of neonates at risk for hypoglycemia -infants of diabetic mothers, large and small for gestational age infants, born between January 2015 and May 2023. Infants were categorized into two groups for analysis. 1. Pre- dextrose gel (01/2015 to 04/2018, n = 788) and 2. Dextrose gel (01/2019 to 05/2023, n = 1495). Infant demographic data and outcome variables were compared between the two groups.

results2283 infants were eligible. Prophylactic dextrose gel use was associated with decreased admission rates to NICU secondary to hypoglycemia (2.7% vs. 6.5%), reduced incidence of hypoglycemia (32% vs. 43.3%), and higher exclusive breastmilk use at discharge (47% vs. 37.3%).

conclusionThe use of prophylactic dextrose gel in certain high-risk newborns was associated with improved patient outcomes.
