Generating expected growth curves and Z-scores for premature infants.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2010. 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
objectiveTo establish a standard for expected growth of premature infants and generate Z-scores based on the standard. STUDY
designMultiple regression and analysis of variance were used to evaluate whether the 10th, 50th, and 90th percentiles of birth weight, head circumference, and length from other studies were statistically different from the percentiles from Riddle. Z-scores were generated from the 10th, 50th, and 90th percentiles.
resultThe growth charts from Mead-Johnson, Babson, Williams, Alexander, Usher, Yudkin, and Fenton were not coincident with the values reported by Riddle. The percentiles reported by Thomas were statistically coincident with the percentiles reported by Riddle.
conclusionThe regression equations for the 10th, 50th, and 90th percentile for weight, head circumference, and length provide expected growth of premature infants. The equations can be used to generate expected growth curves and Z-scores for weight, head circumference, and length of premature infants.
