1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 investigate positive results on a screening instrument for autism spectrum disorder (pos-ASDS) and associated neonatal and early developmental risk factors in school-age children born extremely preterm (EPT). STUDY

designResearchers assessed 380 EPT children (GA 24 to <28 weeks) at 6-7 years-of-age using the Social Communication Questionnaire (SCQ). Pos-ASDS was defined as an SCQ score ≥15. Logistic regression examined independent associations of perinatal factors and 18-22 months behavior and cognitive scores with pos-ASDS.

resultsFourteen % of the children scored ≥ 15 in the ASDS (SCQ). Risk factors included male sex, lower birth weight, severe retinopathy of prematurity, motor/sensory impairments, lower cognitive scores, poorer emotional competence, and more behavioral problems at 18-22 months. Neonatal MRI and cranial ultrasound findings were not significantly different.

conclusionChildren born EPT have increased positive ASDS. It is important to assess their socioemotional development early and pos-ASDS risk factors to facilitate prompt intervention.
