Correlation of telomere length between full and preterm neonates and their mothers.
Article in Experimental and therapeutic medicine, 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
Telomeres are nucleoprotein complexes that serve as protective caps from the DNA damage response at the ends of chromosomes. During aging, telomeres gradually shorten, and genomic instability arises through the induction of senescence. The present study aimed to elucidate the association between maternal characteristics, their medical history and pregnancy details with the telomere length (TL) of neonates. Blood samples were collected from 54 mothers and their neonates, and DNA extraction and measurement of TL was performed by quantitavive PCR. The results showed that maternal TL was negatively correlated with body mass index before pregnancy. A weak to moderate significant correlation was observed between maternal and neonatal TL. Non-significant differences were found between the maternal TL and their smoking habits, as well as medical and gestation history.
