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

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a gastrointestinal emergency causing inflammation and necrosis of the intestine, most commonly in premature formula-fed infants. There exists limited conflicting data on the pathophysiology behind NEC development and the underlying intestinal bacteria behind the disease. We report a case of a two-week-old female patient who was born full term. During her birth hospitalization, she was transferred to the neonatal intensive care unit for late-onset tachypnea and apnea, where she received ampicillin and gentamicin intravenously through a peripheral line for a total of 36 hours. The newborn presented to the emergency department (ED) with bloody stool at two weeks of life. Her abdominal X-ray showed possible intramural air with concern for pneumatosis, and the patient was admitted to the pediatric ward with suspected NEC. Stool investigations were positive for occult blood, lactoferrin, and
