Time to Initiate Trophic Feeding and Its Predictors Among Preterm Infants at University of Gondar Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia.
Article in Sage open pediatrics. 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
Background: Early enteral feeding initiation for preterm neonates is a vital part of neonatal intervention for overall outcomes. There are few dates. We aimed to assess the time to enteral feeding initiation and its associated factor among preterm newborns admitted to the University of Gondar. Method: An institutional-based retrospective follow-up study was conducted from August 8, 2024, to December 30, 2024. Result: A total of 144 preterm newborns were followed for about 6452 person-hours of observation. The follow-up period ranged from 1 to 240 hours. Out of 144 preterm newborns, 51 (35.42%) initiated enteral feeding early within the first 24 hours. Variable that affects trophic feeding initiation were gestational age, small for gestational age, and presence of jaundice were significant and independent predictors of early initiation. Conclusion: The rate of early trophic feeding initiation was low in our institution.
