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 characterize long-term feeding outcomes in infants who underwent tracheostomy prior to their first birthday. STUDY

designRetrospective review of feeding outcomes at initial hospital discharge and age 5 in a cohort of infants who underwent tracheostomy at a children's hospital over a 16-year period.

results145 infants met inclusion criteria. In this cohort, 117 were feeding tube dependent at time of initial hospital discharge and 71 were feeding tube dependent age 5. Cardiovascular comorbidities (p = 0.009), long-term tracheostomy dependence (p < 0.001), higher birth weight (p = 0.011), older age at tracheostomy decannulation (p < 0.001) and older gestational age (p = 0.007) were factors associated with feeding tube dependence at age 5.

conclusionThe long-term feeding outcomes of infants who require tracheostomy demonstrate high levels of feeding impairment at age 5.
