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

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a common critical gastrointestinal disease in neonates. Severe cases have a poor prognosis and may be fatal. Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for improving outcomes. Traditional abdominal X-ray has low sensitivity. As a noninvasive, radiation-free real-time imaging technique, abdominal ultrasound can assess intestinal wall structure, peristalsis, and perfusion at an early stage and has outstanding value for early diagnosis. Typical ultrasound findings include intestinal wall thickening or thinning, abnormal blood perfusion, pneumatosis intestinalis, portal venous gas, pneumoperitoneum, and complex ascites. Ultrasound outperforms X-ray in identifying these signs, and it is particularly useful when X-ray findings are inconclusive or when dynamic monitoring is required. It can be considered one of the preferred imaging modalities for NEC.
