Transcriptional stratification of necrotizing enterocolitis identifies distinct disease subtypes.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a severe inflammatory disorder of the intestine that affects neonatal babies, with a mortality rate of 30-50%. Despite the severe nature of the disease, its rare incidence and early onset prevent further understanding of its etiology and the development of treatment strategies. To further understand the pathogenic mechanism of this disease, we subjected intestinal tissues from ten NEC patients and three control individuals to RNA-sequencing. Clustering of the affected tissues revealed three clusters, each with a distinct transcriptional profile characterized by the expression of genes enriched in inflammatory pathways related to lipid binding and no obvious expression signature. The three subtypes displayed distinct gene expression patterns specific to the cell types composing the small intestine layers. Our results elucidate the genetic rationale underlying patient-specific symptoms, prognosis.
