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

Surgical management of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) can result in significant morbidity and mortality. Surgical management varies in the absence of international evidence-based guidelines. We aimed to gain insight into practice variation between expert centers in the Netherlands and Finland.Bicentric retrospective cohort study including all infants treated surgically for NEC (Bell's stage ≥IIA) in two centers in the Netherlands and Finland between 2000 and 2021. Main outcomes were preoperative, intraoperative, and 3-month postoperative characteristics.We included 191 patients (122 Dutch and 69 Finnish). Median gestational age and birth weight were lower in Finnish patients (median [min.-max.]: 25 + 4/7 [23 + 0/7-39 + 0/7] vs. 28 + 2/7 [23 + 6/7-41 + 6/7],
