Specific cognitive correlates of the quality of life of extremely preterm school-aged children without major neurodevelopmental disability.
Article in Pediatric research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
backgroundWe examined how specific cognitive behavioral impairments impacted quality of life (QoL) within a large multicenter cohort of 7-10 year olds surviving extremely preterm (EPT) without major neurodevelopmental disability.
methodsBetween 7 and 10 years of age, two generic, self-proxy, and parental evaluations were obtained. QoL measurement questionnaires (Kidscreen-10/VSPA (Vécu et Santé Perçue de l'Enfant et de l'Adolescent)) were used and compared to a reference population. The general and specific cognitive functions, such as executive functions, behavior and anxiety, and clinical neurologic examination, were also assessed.
resultsWe analyzed 211 school-aged EPT children. The mean gestational age was 26.2 (±0.8) weeks, birth weight was 879 g (±181) and the mean age was 8.4 years (±0.87). Children with a Full-Scale Index Quotient ≥89, who were considered as normal, had a lower QoL. Specific cognitive impairments: comprehensive language delay, visuo-spatial integration defect, and dysexecutive disorders) were the QoL correlates in the domains of school performance and body image.
conclusionsSchool and health care professionals need to increase their focus on EPT children's lower so as to recognize the preterm behavioral/cognitive phenotype and their potential need for supportive measures. Research on preventive interventions is warranted to investigate if these long-term effects of an EPT birth can be attenuated in neonatal period and after.
