Neonatal and Infant Mortality Risk Associated with Preterm and Small for Gestational Age Births in Tanzania: Individual Level Pooled Analysis Using the Intergrowth Standard.
Article in The Journal of pediatrics, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 30 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
objectivesTo evaluate the risk of newborn and infant mortality associated with preterm, small for gestational age (SGA), and low birth weight (LBW) stratified by maternal HIV status and the location of birth. STUDY
designWe created a prospective cohort by pooling 5 individually randomized trials. We used Cox proportional hazard models to estimate the risk of mortality for SGA defined using the recently published Intergrowth standard, preterm, LBW, and gestational age and size for gestational age categories (preterm- appropriate for gestational age [AGA], term-SGA, and preterm-SGA). Effect modification by maternal HIV status and place of residence was assessed using the likelihood ratio test.
resultsOf the 31 988 infants, 15.3% were preterm, 16.6% were SGA, and 7.3% were LBW. The proportion of preterm and SGA births was higher among the HIV-infected cohort than in the uninfected cohort. Compared with term-AGA groups, infants born both preterm and SGA had a greater risk of neonatal mortality (hazard ratio [HR] 5.43, 95% CI 2.01-14.63) than preterm-AGA infants (HR 2.40, 95% CI 1.89-3.05) and term-SGA infants (HR 2.56, 95% CI 1.96-3.34). Maternal HIV infection modified the risk of infant mortality associated with being born preterm or LBW, with a higher relative risk among those born to HIV-uninfected women. Rural residence significantly modified the risk of neonatal mortality associated with being LBW (P for interaction = .005).
conclusionsPreterm and SGA newborns had an increased risk of mortality during the first year of life. Interventions targeting these conditions, especially in HIV-exposed and rural populations, should be integrated into existing maternal and child health programs.
