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 estimate inter-center variation (ICV) in hospital length of stay (LOS) and oral feeding at discharge among infants with gastroschisis. STUDY

designThe Children's Hospitals Neonatal Consortium's (CHNC) database was used to identify hospitalized survivors with gastroschisis. Two outcomes were evaluated: LOS and discharge without tube feedings. Hospital outcomes were evaluated in unadjusted and adjusted analyses. Generalized linear models with log link for gamma distribution were used to model LOS and logistic regression for discharge without tube feeds.

resultsFor 3987 surviving infants with gastroschisis, LOS and discharge within 70 days with exclusively oral feeding both exhibited significant ICV. Differences persisted in multivariable analyses. Risk-adjusted LOS (68% difference) and oral feeding at discharge (6.4-fold difference) varied significantly between centers.

conclusionHospital of care was independently associated with LOS and exclusive oral feeding at discharge rates for infants with gastroschisis. Management differences, potentially influenced by parental preferences, contributed to variation.
