A Multi-Center Survey of Necrotizing Enterocolitis Prevention Strategies in Very Low Birth Weight Infants.

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
Objective: To compare the prevention practices of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) across 17 neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) in China. Methods: A web-based survey was sent to 17 level 3 NICUs in China on September 21, 2023, to evaluate the prevention strategies for NEC. Results: All 17 Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs) responded to the survey. There was significant variation in the initial empirical use of antibiotics for early-onset sepsis, late-onset sepsis, and NEC among different NICUs. Out of the 17 NICUs, only 5 (29.4%) used donor human milk. Additionally, 15 (88.2%) NICUs performed routine echocardiography (Echo) in preterm infants after birth to evaluate cardiac function and/or Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) status. Out of those 15 NICUs, 11 (73.3%) performed Echo within 24 to 72 hours after birth. Furthermore, 8 NICUs (47.1%) did not alter enteral nutrition management during drug treatment for PDA, while 12 NICUs (70.6%) stopped 1 or 2 feeds during red blood cell transfusion. Conclusion: The findings of this survey conducted through questionnaires revealed both differences and similarities in the strategies employed to prevent NEC in 17 NICUs in China.
