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

backgroundMultidisciplinary care under intestinal rehabilitation programs (IRPs) improves survival in pediatric intestinal failure (IF). Professional societies recommend the management of pediatric patients with IF by an IRP. Whether these recommendations are followed in cases of neonatal IF is currently unclear. The objective of this study was to describe the current state of neonatal IF care across North America through the Children's Hospitals Neonatal Consortium.

methodsA web-based survey was sent in July 2023. This survey consisted of adaptive questioning and contained 10-54 questions. The survey covered topics regarding IF care: diagnosis, rehabilitation program management, protocol use, and follow-up. To determine correlation of respondent role and answer given, Spearman correlation was used to analyze a portion of responses.

resultsThere was a response rate of 93% (42/45). A total of 79% (33/42) of centers report having an IRP caring for neonatal patients. The composition and care provided by the program varied by center, with 60% (25/42) having protocols for neonatal IF management. A total of 76% (32/42) of centers report a multidisciplinary intestinal rehabilitation follow-up.

conclusionsNeonatal IF care varies across North America. Although the presence of a rehabilitation program is known to improve pediatric patient outcomes, a relevant minority of centers in this consortium do not have access to this care. Future studies comparing neonatal specific IF care strategies are critically important to optimize outcomes.
