Associated factors and clinical outcomes of feeding intolerance in preterm extremely low birthweight infants.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Feeding intolerance (FI) is a major challenge among extremely low birthweight (ELBW) preterm infants, impacting their growth, development, and overall clinical outcomes. We aimed to identify factors associated with FI in ELBW preterm infants and examine the relationship between FI and respiratory support modalities. Our retrospective review of medical records of all ELBW preterm infants between 12/2016 and 12/2021 revealed that 78 (58%) of the 133 ELBW infants (median gestational age 26.5 weeks, median birth weight 809 g) had FI. FI was more common in infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia and periventricular leukomalacia (n = 69 vs. n = 24 and n = 11 vs. n = 2, respectively, p < 0.001). Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) had the highest FI rate (7.8 per 100 device-days) compared with other noninvasive ventilation modes (p < 0.001). Infants with FI required longer to achieve full enteral feeding (median 18 vs. 14 days for infants without FI, p < 0.001) and had longer neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) stays (median 89.5 vs. 47 days, respectively, p < 0.001). We conclude that provision of NIPPV support was associated with higher FI rates and longer NICU stays in preterm ELBW infants.
