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

Introduction: Parenteral nutrition (PN) is a life-saving intervention for neonates with gastroschisis. As most low and middle-income countries lack access to comprehensive neonatal PN, we evaluated the feasibility and safety of a pragmatic intravenous nutrition strategy for neonates with gastroschisis in sub-Saharan Africa. Methods: Local protocols for partial parenteral nutritional support and early enteral feeding were developed across the seven pediatric surgery centers participating in the Gastroschisis Interventional Study ( Results: In the postintervention phase ( Conclusions: Partial neonatal intravenous nutritional support using locally available products was feasible and safe across study centers. This approach represents a pragmatic interim strategy in settings where neonatal PN is unavailable. Expanding access to neonatal PN remains essential to achieving Sustainable Development Goal 3.2 to end preventable neonatal deaths by 2030.
