Self-regulation task in young school age children born preterm: Correlation with early academic achievement.
Article in Early human development, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundChildren born preterm are at risk for difficulties in executive function (EF), however there are limited tools to assess EF in young children and it is not fully understood how these early deficits are related to emerging academic skills.
aimsTo examine (a) early EF differences in young children born preterm, (b) how a measure of behavioral self-regulation correlates with other measures of EF in children born preterm, and (c) how this measure relates to academic outcomes in children born preterm. STUDY
designLongitudinal cohort study. SUBJECTS: Thirty-three healthy children born preterm (25-32 weeks gestation) and 14 children born full term were assessed before starting kindergarten at age 5 and again at ages 6 and 7 years. OUTCOME MEASURES: Each assessment included a measure of behavioral self-regulation, the Head Toes Knees Shoulders task (HTKS), performance-based measures of EF, parent rating scales of EF and behavior problems, a measure of motor ability, and academic measures.
resultsChildren born preterm performed worse on all measures of self-regulation, EF, parent-report, academic outcomes, and motor ability across time. The HTKS had weak to moderate correlations with parent-report and performance-based measures of EF, moderate to strong correlations with academic performance, and was not correlated with motor ability.
conclusionThis study shows the predictive value of early EF measures on functional academic outcomes and their potential as targets of effective interventions in this high-risk population.
