Meconium obstruction of prematurity in tiny babies - towards developing an international consensus.
Review in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Intestinal perforation occurring in extremely low gestational age neonates is a devastating complication, associated with high mortality and morbidity. Multiple phenotypes of bowel perforation in premature infants have been described, with the most common being spontaneous, or isolated, intestinal perforation and perforated necrotizing enterocolitis. The purpose of this article is to summarize literature describing "meconium obstruction of prematurity", increasingly recognized as a distinct clinical phenotype in the smallest and most immature neonates. The goal of this review is to improve international recognition and understanding of this high-risk clinical condition. The lack of standardized nomenclature has been an obstacle to progress in understanding, preventing, and treating this important and more frequently encountered condition. The recognition of meconium obstruction requiring medical or surgical management is a clear distinguishing factor from other bowel pathologies of prematurity.
