Socioeconomic status and brain injury in children born preterm: modifying neurodevelopmental outcome.
Review in Pediatric research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 53 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Improved intensive care therapies have increased the survival of children born preterm. Yet, many preterm children experience long-term neurodevelopmental sequelae. Indeed, preterm birth remains a leading cause of lifelong neurodevelopmental disability globally, posing significant challenges to the child, family, and society. Neurodevelopmental disability in children born preterm is traditionally linked to acquired brain injuries such as white matter injury and to impaired brain maturation resulting from neonatal illness such as chronic lung disease. Socioeconomic status (SES) has long been recognized to contribute to variation in outcome in children born preterm. Recent brain imaging data in normative term-born cohorts suggest that lower SES itself predicts alterations in brain development, including the growth of the cerebral cortex and subcortical structures. Recent evidence in children born preterm suggests that the response to early-life brain injuries is modified by the socioeconomic circumstances of children and families. Exciting new data points to the potential of more favorable SES circumstances to mitigate the impact of neonatal brain injury. This review addresses emerging evidence suggesting that SES modifies the relationship between early-life exposures, brain injury, and neurodevelopmental outcomes in children born preterm. Better understanding these relationships opens new avenues for research with the ultimate goal of promoting optimal outcomes for those children born preterm at highest risk of neurodevelopmental consequence.
