Clinical Characteristics and Influencing Factors of Feeding Intolerance After Surgery for Neonatal Necrotizing Enterocolitis.
Article in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundFeeding intolerance (FI) following surgery for neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) can impact recovery and prognosis, making the early identification of FI risk essential for optimizing management and improving outcomes.
methodsWe retrospectively collected data from patients who underwent surgery for NEC between January 2013 and December 2023. Multivariate binary logistic regression was performed to identify independent factors influencing postoperative feeding intolerance.
resultsOf the 519 infants enrolled in this retrospective study, 155 (29.9%) were diagnosed with feeding intolerance, while 364 (70.1%) were identified as having feeding tolerance. Compared to infants with feeding tolerance, those with feeding intolerance had lower birth weight, smaller gestational age, and lower Apgar scores (all
conclusionsA lower 5 min Apgar score, shorter interval from diagnosis to surgery and intestine resection with ostomy are associated with a higher incidence of FI after surgery. FI after NEC surgery can prolong recovery and increase family burden.
