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
aimThe aim of this study was to investigate the annual prevalence and characteristics of Paediatric Feeding Disorder (PFD) in Västerbotten county, Sweden, during the years 2012-2022.
methodsIn this retrospective study, medical records of patients attending paediatric clinics with possible feeding problems were identified by applying pre-defined diagnostic and procedure codes. Diagnostic criteria of PFD were verified. Additional data including nutritional status and enteral feeding tube placement were retrieved.
resultsAnnual prevalence of PFD increased from 1.2 (95% CI, 0.9-1.5) per 1000 children in 2012 to 5.0 (95% CI, 4.4-5.6) per 1000 children in 2022. In 2022, the prevalence in children < 5 years of age was 10.2 (95% CI, 8.7-12.0) per 1000. Of those, 28% had thinness grades 2 or 3 (moderate or severe thinness), and 31% were fed via nasogastric tube or gastrostomy.
conclusionPrevalence of PFD has increased in the last decade, most notably for children under the age of five. High rates of malnutrition and enteral feeding in our study population indicate that we identified only the most severe cases of PFD. Given the rising prevalence of PFD, further research on the condition is of high priority.
