1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Advances in perinatal and neonatal care have led to improved survival of preterm infants into adulthood. However, the shift in focus to long-term health in adults born preterm requires a clear understanding of the impact of prematurity on developing organ systems and the development of adult-oriented disease. A less well-recognized area of risk for surviving preterm infants is their cardiometabolic health. Epidemiologic evidence has linked preterm birth to the development of systemic hypertension, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, heart failure, and ischemic heart disease. Of more significant concern is that the risk of cardiometabolic disorders is higher in adults born preterm compared to full-term infants. The interconnected nature of the cardio-pulmonary system means worsening morbidity and mortality in adults born preterm. Addressing the problems of adults born preterm holistically would help promote cardiovascular health, wellness, and quality of life over their lifetime. Recognizing that adults born preterm are a unique subset of the population is a challenge in the current healthcare environment. Addressing issues relevant to adults born preterm in the clinically and research domain, using technology to characterize cardiopulmonary physiology and exercise tolerance, developing screening tools for early diagnosis and treatment, and robust follow-up of these infants with access to longitudinal data would improve both the quality and longevity of life in adults born preterm.
