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

Background: Preterm birth is a leading cause of infant mortality and morbidity, with very preterm infants (VPI) being particularly vulnerable to poor physical growth and developmental challenges. This study aimed to investigate the trends and factors influencing physical growth in VPI within the first 12 months of corrected age (CA). Methods: A cohort study was conducted on 223 VPI admitted between November 2020 and July 2022 at a tertiary maternity and neonatal hospital in Shanghai, China. Multiple linear regression and logistic regression models were used to identify risk factors for weight, length, and head circumference growth outcomes within 12 months CA. Results: The results showed that maternal postnatal depression ( Conclusion: Targeted interventions addressing maternal mental health, pregnancy complications, and infant-specific risk factors are warranted to promote physical growth in VPI.
