Lung volumes, gas transfer and oscillometry after preterm birth: systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in European respiratory review : an official journal of the European Respiratory Society, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundSmall airway and lung parenchymal abnormalities frequently occur following preterm birth but are commonly missed by spirometry. Static lung volumes, diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (
methodsThis systematic review and meta-analysis, registered with PROSPERO (CRD42022320775) and guided by Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses standards, searched six databases up to 29 December 2024. We included studies comparing lung function between preterm subjects and term controls
resultsFrom 12 143 titles, we analysed 52 cohorts with static lung volumes, 37 with gas transfer and 18 with oscillometry data. While total lung capacity was similar between preterm and term cohorts (SMD -0.08, 95% CI -0.17 to 0.004), preterm participants showed increased residual volume (SMD 0.32, 95% CI 0.19 to 0.44) and residual volume/total lung capacity (SMD 0.45, 95% CI 0.28 to 0.63).
interpretationWe demonstrate that preterm birth is linked to notable abnormalities in static lung volumes, gas transfer and oscillometry, underscoring the necessity of employing comprehensive pulmonary function tests beyond spirometry to monitor and address long-term respiratory outcomes effectively.
