Predictors of outcomes in infants with gastroschisis treated with a preformed silo.

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
purposeTo describe the outcomes of infants with gastroschisis treated with a preformed silo (PFS) and determine whether routinely measured early physiological parameters, sepsis (blood culture positive), gastroschisis complexity or location of birth influenced the length of stay (LOS) and duration of parenteral nutrition (PN).
methodsInfants cared for in a tertiary surgical neonatal intensive care unit during a 10-year period were identified.
resultsSeventy-seven infants were assessed [median gestational age 36 + 6 (IQR 35 + 3 to 38 + 0)] weeks. All survived; 82% were inborn. The median LOS was 37 (IQR 28-76.5) days and duration of PN was 28 (IQR 21-53) days. In the first 72 h, the worst median lactate, base excess and 'toe-core' gap were 4.2 (IQR 3.0-5.8) mmol/l, -7.0 (IQR - 5.55 to - 9.35), 3.4 (IQR 3.0-4.2) °C respectively. There were no significant correlations between early physiological parameters or place of birth and LOS or PN days, but sepsis (n = 18 infants) and complex gastroschisis (n = 13 infants) were associated with an increased LOS and PN duration (both p < 0.001).
conclusionsSurvival was 100% in infants with gastroschisis who were managed with PFS, sepsis and gastroschisis complexity were associated with a longer hospital stay and duration of parenteral nutrition. Level of Evidence (I-V): IV.
