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

Background: Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a life-threatening gastrointestinal disorder in neonates, and the optimal timing of surgical intervention for this condition remains controversial. This study aimed to determine the appropriate timing of surgery and evaluate its impact on bowel preservation in infants with NEC. Methods: A multicenter retrospective study was conducted across four hospitals in Chongqing between April 2008 and January 2023. A total of 392 infants diagnosed with NEC (modified Bell stage 2 or higher) were enrolled. All participants were divided into three groups: medical management group ( Results: Infants in the score > 5 group presented with significantly lower birth weight, gestational age, and body weight at diagnosis (all Conclusions: Surgical intervention based on multi-item scoring was independently associated with reduced bowel resection length in infants with NEC, after adjusting for baseline disease severity and neonatal baseline characteristics.
