Feeding Practices in Simple Gastroschisis: Insights into Practice Variation from a Multidisciplinary Survey.
Article in Journal of pediatrics. Clinical practice, 2026. 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
Objective: There is limited evidence to guide feeding practices for neonates with simple gastroschisis. Current management consists of a combination of clinician judgment and historic practice patterns. This study aims to characterize practice variability and identify opportunities for standardization to improve patient outcomes. Study design: In this cross-sectional study, we surveyed neonatal providers on their feeding practices for simple gastroschisis, focusing on the initiation and advancement of enteral nutrition after abdominal closure. The 27-question survey was administered to members of the American Pediatric Surgical Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics Section of Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine between October 2024 and January 2025. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: Of the 467 respondents, the majority were neonatologists (51%) and pediatric surgeons (42%) working in academic centers (75%) with level III or IV neonatal intensive care units (98%). Participants reported near-universal use of an enteric drainage tube after abdominal closure (99%). One-half reported no gastroschisis feeding protocols at their institution, and instead, across all respondents, rely on evidence of return of bowel function before starting feeds (84%) typically with human milk (86%), by bottle (60%) and initial volumes of 10-20 mL/kg/day. Conclusions: This study demonstrated variable approaches to feeding hospitalized neonates with simple gastroschisis. Evidence-based and standardized guidelines tailored to this population that support the timely and effective initiation and progression of feeds may help improve clinical outcomes.
