Long-Term Infectious Morbidity of Premature Infants: Is There a Critical Threshold?
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
In this study, we sought to ascertain a relationship between gestational age at birth and infectious morbidity of the offspring via population-based cohort analysis comparing the long-term incidence of infectious morbidity in infants born preterm and stratified by extremity of prematurity (extreme preterm birth: 24 + 0-27 + 6, very preterm birth: 28 + 0-31 + 6, moderate to late preterm birth: 32 + 0-36 + 6 weeks of gestation, and term deliveries). Infectious morbidity included hospitalizations involving a predefined set of International Classification of Diseases 9 (ICD9) codes, as recorded in hospital records. A Kaplan-Meier survival curve compared cumulative incidence of infectious-related morbidity. A Cox proportional hazards model controlled for confounders and time to event. The study included 220,594 patients: 125 (0.1%) extreme preterm births, 784 (0.4%) very preterm births, 13,323 (6.0%) moderate to late preterm births, and 206,362 term deliveries. Offspring born preterm had significantly more infection-related hospitalizations (18.4%, 19.8%, 14.9%, and 11.0% for the aforementioned stratification, respectively,
