Struggling to Understand the NEC Spectrum-Could the Integration of Metabolomics, Clinical-Laboratory Data, and Other Emerging Technologies Help Diagnosis?
Review in Metabolites, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is the most prevalent and potentially fatal intestinal injury mainly affecting premature infants, with significant long-term consequences for those who survive. This review explores the scale of the problem, highlighting advancements in epidemiology, the understanding of pathophysiology, and improvements in the prediction and diagnosis of this complex, multifactorial, and multifaced disease. Additionally, we focus on the potential role of metabolomics in distinguishing NEC from other conditions, which could allow for an earlier and more accurate classification of intestinal injuries in infants. By integrating metabolomic data with other diagnostic approaches, it is hoped to enhance our ability to predict outcomes and tailor treatments, ultimately improving care for affected infants.
