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.

Abstract

Purpose: To investigate the clinical features of necrotizing enterocolitis-associated intestinal perforation (NEC-IP) in neonates with different gestational ages (GAs). Furthermore, we also want to identify the risk factors of poor prognosis for these patients. Methods: The retrospective study of patients with NEC-IP was conducted with basic information, comorbidity, intraoperative findings, related treatment, and prognosis. According to the GA, patients were divided into three groups: early (GA: 28-<32 weeks, Group 1), mid-term (GA: 32-<34 weeks, Group 2), and late (GA: 34-<37 weeks, Group 3). The clinical features of the three groups were analyzed, and risk factors for poor prognosis were identified. Results: Of the 113 cases, the number of cases in Groups 1 to 3 was 36 (31.9%), 44 (38.9%), and 33 (29.2%), respectively; and the overall proportion of poor prognosis was 19.4% (22/113). For basic information, the birth weight of Group 1 was lower than that of Group 2 and Group 3, while the postnatal day at the time of surgery of NEC and the onset age were higher than that of Group 2 (onset age: G1 12.0[7.00;20.5], G2 9.00[4.00;13.0]; postnatal day at the time of surgery: G1 22.0[13.8;27.2], G2 13.0[8.00;21.0]) ( Conclusions: The clinical features of NEC-IP patients differ based on GA, particularly in terms of CHD type, postnatal day at the time of surgery, utilization of vasoactive substances, and prognosis. Furthermore, GA, sepsis, coagulopathy, CHD, and diseased bowel segment are independent factors for poor prognosis of patients with NEC-IP.
