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

Paediatric home enteral nutrition (HEN) is becoming more common. Existing research and guidelines point to the importance of carer education. However, ongoing HEN care in the community is not well covered, and many of those caring for children with feeding tubes have insufficient training, contributing to safety incidents in paediatric HEN. This article presents a novel gold standard for home nasogastric tube feeding for infants and children. It is developed through interviews with clinicians (n = 13) and parents (n = 4), and revised in consultation with a wider group of clinicians (n = 22), parents (n = 4), researchers (n = 2) and other professionals involved in supporting families with children who tube feed (n = 2). The gold standard reflects the authors' consensus recommendations. Alignment of its features with peer-reviewed research is highlighted. The gold standard considers NG tube feeding at home as a mealtime (rather than medical procedure) that is safe, responsive to the child's cues, and family friendly. Where weaning is expected, it also prepares the child for this.
