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

objectiveTo describe one-year post-discharge outcomes of infants discharged with nasogastric (NGT) feeding. STUDY

designRetrospective cohort analysis including infants (0-3 months) born or admitted to a single tertiary children's hospital (April 2014-December 2022) and discharged with NGT feeding. Data analyzed included demographic and clinical characteristics and outcomes at one-year post-discharge. Subgroup analysis compared infants who required GT placement within one-year and those who did not.

results121 infants were included. Median gestational age was 38 weeks. Most infants achieved full oral feeding at one-year post- discharge without GT placement (n = 103, 80%). Median duration of NGT use was 21 days. For those requiring a GT, the median time from discharge to placement was 61 days. Infants discharged with an NGT who did not require a GT were readmitted less frequently (p-value < 0.001).

conclusionsInfants discharged with an NGT had positive outcomes at one-year post-discharge with infrequent need for eventual GT placement or readmission.
