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

Objective: To determine the prevalence of functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) in infants aged 0-9 months with gastrointestinal (GI) discomfort in different cities in China, and to investigate the associated influencing factors. Methods: A multicenter cross-sectional survey was conducted. The questionnaire was developed based on the Rome Ⅳ Diagnostic Questionnaire for FGIDs in Neonates and Toddlers and published literature. Data were collected from infants aged 0-9 months with GI discomfort at 17 hospitals across 14 cities in eastern, central, and western China. Information on family demographics, neonatal records, feeding history, types and frequency of GI symptoms was collected. Logistic regression was performed to explore factors associated with FGIDs. Results: A total of 2528 infants aged 0-9 months with GI discomfort were enrolled, with 1315 males (52.02%) and 1213 females (47.98%). Among the surveyed infants, 72.55% were diagnosed with FGIDs, with no statistically significant difference in prevalence between male and female infants ( Conclusion: FGIDs are highly prevalent among infants aged 0-9 months with gastrointestinal symptoms in China. Their occurrence is linked to geographic region, probiotic use, gestational age, and breastfeeding duration. Future studies should focus on whether improved feeding guidance and breastfeeding promotion can help prevent FGIDs.
