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

This study aimed to assess the impact of an opt-out consent process compared with the opt-in consent process for using pasteurized donor human milk (PDHM) on feeding practices and growth in preterm neonates.A retrospective study of 200 neonates ≤28 weeks' gestation compared the effects of opt-in versus opt-out consent processes on time to first enteral feed, feeding types, growth trajectories, and prematurity-related morbidities. Descriptive statistics were used to compare the two groups.The opt-out process did not significantly alter the time to the first enteral feed (range opt-in: 0-12 days vs. opt-out 0-5 days, Mann-Whitney U;
