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

Umbilical arterial catheters (UAC) in neonates are used for blood pressure monitoring, blood sampling, administration of fluids, nutrition, and medications. As UAC applications evolve, enteral nutrition practices vary in neonates in the presence of a UAC. The theoretical concern for mesenteric ischemia when a UAC is in place led to early nil per os approaches, delaying the initiation of enteral nutrition. More contemporary practices have favored introducing enteral feeding in neonates with UACs. However, there remains a paucity of data to guide clinical practice approaches regarding enteral feeding in neonates with a UAC in place. In this perspective article, we examine the physiological effects of UACs and review existing literature on feeding practices in neonates with a UAC. We offer an approach to managing enteral feeding in neonates with a UAC, addressing the central question: Is routine feeding in neonates with a UAC in place justified in current clinical practice?
