Feeding outcomes of preterm infants discharged with feeding tubes.
Article 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
objectiveTo evaluate feeding outcomes in preterm infants discharged with feeding tubes (FT). STUDY
designRetrospective study comparing infants ≤30 weeks gestational age discharged with a nasogastric tube (NGT) or surgically placed feeding tube (spFT) from 2012-2020. The primary outcome was feeding status at 12 months corrected age, defined as full oral feeds (FOF) or feeding tube dependence (FTD) if ongoing FT use.
results217 infants were included: 130 discharged with an NGT (60%), 87 with spFT (40%). More NGT infants achieved FOF (NGT = 76%, spFT=24%, p < 0.001). FTD was associated with small for gestational age (aOR= 2.75, p = 0.034), severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia (aOR= 2.36, p = 0.029), and continuous feeds (aOR= 4.06, p < 0.001). Increased oral intake at discharge decreased FTD odds (aOR=0.74, p = 0.010). Infants with spFT had higher healthcare utilization for FT complications (spFT=60%, NGT = 19%, p < 0.001).
conclusionsThese findings can guide FT selection and optimize follow-up for infants at risk of FTD.
