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

objectiveTo quantify inter-center variation (ICV) in length of stay (LOS) among surviving infants with jejunal (JA) or ileal atresia (IA). STUDY

designChildren's Hospitals Neonatal Consortium's database was used to identify infants with JA or IA. After excluding infants with abdominal wall defects, survivors' hospital LOS was modeled as a function of center using generalized linear models with log link for gamma distribution.

resultsThere were 1134 and 808 infants with JA and IA, respectively. LOS had significant ICV in unadjusted (JA: 5.4 [IQR 3.7,9.9] weeks; IA: 4.3 [IQR 2.4,11.4] weeks) and multivariable analyses (JA: 4+ fold difference (6.5-31.5 week); p < 0.001 IA: 8+ fold difference (1.7-14.6 weeks); p < 0.001) with modifiable risk factors including cholestasis, ostomy creation, blood stream infection, and residual bowel length <55 cm.

conclusionRisk-adjusted ICV in LOS was observed in infants with JA and IA, which exposes opportunities for improvements in outcomes for infants with intestinal atresia.
