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

objectiveThere is increasing awareness of the benefits of early nutritional intervention in children with acute pancreatitis (AP). This study aims to compare oral feeding with NG feeding in mild to moderately severe AP patients.

methodsA single-center, prospective, randomized controlled trial was conducted from September 2021 to August 2024. The participants were randomly assigned to the oral feeding group or the NG feeding group. The primary outcomes were the duration of AP-related pain, tolerance rate, and changes in weight.

resultsA total of 56 pediatric patients were enrolled, of whom 48 patients (24 in each group) were included in the final analysis. There were no significant differences in baseline characteristics or etiological analysis results between the two groups. The median duration of abdominal pain after admission was 3 days in both groups (p = 0.104); no difference was found in the tolerance rate between the 2 cohorts (p = 0.489). There were no significant differences in weight change between the two groups at discharge or at 1 week or 5 weeks after discharge (p = 0.658, 0.502, and 0.927, respectively), and both groups presented slight increases in weight at 5 weeks post-discharge. Four patients in the NG group developed complications, while no complications were observed in the ORAL group (p = 0.109).

conclusionsOral feeding is effective for nutritional therapy in children with mild to moderately severe AP, reducing the number of invasive procedures, without significant adverse effects.
