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

purposeTo assess the incidence and risk factors for metabolic bone disease of prematurity (MBDP).

methodsInfants born at ≤ 33 weeks' gestation were screened for MBDP using serum calcium, phosphorus, and alkaline phosphatase levels. Screening began at 3-6 weeks and was repeated as indicated until three months of corrected age. Feed volume, nutrient supplementation, and morbidity data were compared between the infants with and without MBDP.

resultsAmong the 153 infants, 22 (14.4%) had moderate MBDP and 28 (18.3%) had severe MBDP. Lower birth weight was independently associated with severe MBDP (P-0.009).

conclusionsNearly 40% of the preterm infants in our cohort had moderate-to-severe MBDP.
