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

Background: Feeding pattern is closely related to physical development and health, but the benefit of breast feeding on clinical outcomes of Hirschsprung's disease (HSCR) remains unknown. This study aimed to investigate the influences of feeding patterns on postoperative outcomes of HSCR using propensity score matching (PSM) analysis. Methods: The clinical data of 296 patients with HSCR who underwent Laparoscopic-assisted pull-through surgery were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were dichotomized into breast and formula feeding groups. Using propensity score matching (PSM), the two groups were compared for baseline differences and postoperative outcomes. Furthermore, Univariate/multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to identify feeding pattern as an independent factor of postoperative HAEC and bowel dysfunction. Results: Of the 296 patients, breast feeding was 73% (216/296). After PSM, patients with formula feeding had higher rates of postoperative undernutrition (risk of malnutrition: 21.05% vs. 8.77%; malnutrition: 28.07% vs. 15.79%, Conclusion: Following adjustment for patient characteristics, HSCR patients with breast feeding were associated with lower rates of postoperative undernutrition, HAEC, and bowel dysfunction.
