Association of antenatal corticosteroids with kidney function in adolescents born preterm with very low birth weight.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectiveInvestigate if antenatal corticosteroids (ANCS) are associated with worse kidney function in adolescence and if greater adiposity magnifies this association. STUDY
designProspective cohort of 162 14-year-olds born preterm with very low birth weight (<1500 g). Outcomes were estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and first-morning urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR). We used adjusted generalized linear models, stratified by waist-to-height ratio (WHR) ≥ 0.5.
resultsFifty-five percent had ANCS exposure and 31.3% had WHR ≥ 0.5. In adjusted analyses of the entire cohort, ANCS was not significantly associated with eGFR or UACR. However, the ANCS-eGFR association was greater in those with WHR ≥ 0.5 (β -16.8 ml/min/1.73 m
conclusionANCS exposure was not associated with worse kidney function in adolescence, though ANCS may be associated with lower eGFR if children develop obesity by adolescence.
