Growth During Infancy After Extremely Preterm Birth: Associations with Later Neurodevelopmental and Health Outcomes.
Article in The Journal of pediatrics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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.
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 evaluate associations between changes in weight, length, and weight/length ratio during infancy and outcomes later in life among individuals born extremely preterm. STUDY
designAmong participants in the Extremely Low Gestational Age Newborn (ELGAN) study, we measured weight and length at discharge from the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and at age 2 years and evaluated neurocognitive, psychiatric, and health outcomes at age 10 years and 15 years. Using multivariable logistic regression, we estimated associations between gains in weight, length, and weight/length ratio z-scores between discharge and 2 years and outcomes at 10 and 15 years. High gain was defined as the top quintile of change; low gain, as the bottom quintile of change.
resultsHigh gains in weight and weight/length were associated with greater odds of obesity at 10 years, but not at 15 years. These associations were found only for females. High gain in length z-score was associated with lower odds of obesity at 15 years. The only association found between high gains in growth measures and more favorable neurocognitive or psychiatric outcomes was between high gain in weight/length and lower odds of cognitive impairment at age 10 years.
conclusionsDuring the 2 years after NICU discharge, females born extremely preterm with high gains in weight/length or weight have greater odds of obesity at 10 years, but not at 15 years. Infants with high growth gains in the 2 years after NICU discharge have neurocognitive and psychiatric outcomes in middle childhood and adolescence similar to those of infants with lower gains in weight and weight/length.
