Early psychosocial development of small for gestational age and intrauterine growth-restricted children: a systematic review.
Synthesis in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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 examine evidence regarding psychosocial development from one month to four years of age in small for gestational age and intrauterine growth-restricted children. STUDY
designStudies were included if participants met criteria for small for gestational age or intrauterine growth restriction, follow-up was from age 1 month to 4 years, methods were described, and appropriate comparison groups were included. Methodological quality of included studies was assessed using quality-appraisal guidelines.
resultsOf 3216 studies reviewed, 24 were included. Poorer psychosocial development was described for small for gestational age children in 15 and for intrauterine growth-restricted children in 3 studies. Only 5 studies measured placental insufficiency using Doppler ultrasound. Study heterogeneity limited synthesis and interpretation.
conclusionsAlthough evidence suggests that small for gestational age children are at risk of poorer early childhood psychosocial outcomes, further research is required to clarify whether placental insufficiency is associated with poorer early psychosocial development.
