Development of health-related quality of life and subjective health complaints in adults born extremely preterm: a longitudinal cohort study.
Article in Health and quality of life outcomes, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeTo study development trajectories to 34 years of age of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and subjective health complaints in extremely preterm (EP) born subjects with and without disability, and to compare with term-born controls.
methodsA Norwegian longitudinal population-based cohort of subjects born in 1982-85 at gestational age ≤ 28 weeks or with birth weight ≤ 1000 g and matched term-born controls completed the Norwegian version of the Short Form Health Survey-36 at ages 24 and 34 and the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children-Symptom Checklist at ages 17, 24 and 34 years. Data were analysed by unadjusted and adjusted mixed effects analyses with time by subject group as interaction term.
resultsA total of 35/49 (73%) surviving EP-born and 36/46 (78%) term-born controls participated at this third follow-up. EP-born subjects with severe disability reported clinical significant lower mean score in all domains compared to the term-born controls. Healthy EP-born subjects reported significantly lower mean scores for vitality, role emotional and mental health, and significantly higher mean score for total and psychological health complaints compared to term-born controls. There were no significant interactions with age regarding HRQoL and somatic health complaints, while there were significant differences in psychological health complaints; the EP-born scored higher at age 24 and lower at age 34.
conclusionsEP-born adults at age 34 reported inferior HRQoL versus term-born peers, especially in the mental health domains, indicating that the negative differences observed at 24 years remained unchanged.
