Association of Neonatal Morbidities and Postnatal Growth Faltering in Preterm Neonates.

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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesPostnatal growth faltering (PGF) is a risk factor for adverse neurodevelopment in very preterm neonates. The aim of this retrospective study was to determine which infants' baseline characteristics, prenatal risk factors and neonatal morbidities are associated with two definitions of PGF: defined as loss of >2 weight z-scores (severe PGF) or as loss of >1 weight, length, and head circumference z-scores between birth and discharge (complex PGF); Methods: 146 premature newborns (<32 weeks of gestational age, <1500 g) were included in the study. Anonymized data including anthropometric measurements (weight, length, and head circumference), perinatal and neonatal data (demographics, maternal morbidities and previous pregnancies, and neonatal and perinatal morbidities) were extracted from the clinical electronic database. Changes in anthropometric age- and sex-specific z-scores using the Fenton 2013 preterm growth charts were calculated to diagnose severe PGF and complex PGF; Results: The incidence of severe PGF was 11% and complex PGF was 24%. Both PGF definitions were associated with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), severe retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), longer respiratory support, and longer hospital stay. Severe PGF was associated with surgical necrotizing enterocolitis at 25% vs. 1.5%,
