Impact of Neighborhood Disadvantage on Gastrointestinal Morbidity in Extremely Low Birthweight 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
introductionNecrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and spontaneous intestinal perforation (SIP) are major causes of morbidity and mortality in extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants. Social determinants of health (SDH) are associated with disparate outcomes for neonates admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). This study sought to identify correlations between NEC, SIP, and SDH.
methodsRetrospective cohort study of infants born between 22 and 25 weeks of gestation between 2017 and 2023. Utilizing the area deprivation index (ADI) as a marker for social vulnerability. Results: The study included 156 patients. Infants with NEC had a statistically significant median ADI score (indicating more disadvantage) compared to those without NEC. No Black infants in the least disadvantaged deciles were diagnosed with NEC.
conclusionBabies from more disadvantaged backgrounds are more likely to develop NEC. This is even more pronounced in Black infants. Further investigation could lead to a more tailored feeding protocol to promote health equity.
