Lung function outcomes in adults born extremely preterm across three decades of advancing perinatal medicine.
Article in Acta paediatrica (Oslo, Norway : 1992), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
aimAdvances in perinatal medicine from 1980 to 2000 improved survival in extremely preterm (EP) neonates. Long-term effects of these developments remain unclear, and we aimed to investigate potential cohort effects on adult lung function.
methodsThree 18-year-old population-based cohorts born at ≤28 weeks gestation or with birthweight ≤1000 g during 1982-85, 1991-92 and 1999-2000 and term-controls underwent spirometry, body plethysmography, and tests of lung diffusing capacity, bronchodilator reversibility, and airway hyperresponsiveness. We used Welch's t-tests to compare term- with EP-born as a group and split by bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), and regression models to test group/cohort interactions.
resultsIn all EP-born cohorts, z-scores for FEV
conclusionAdults born EP across three formative decades of neonatal care had stable lung function overall, with notable improvements in BPD subgroups across cohorts.
