Contemporary Definitions of Infant Growth Failure and Neurodevelopmental and Behavioral Outcomes in Extremely Premature Infants at Two Years of Age.
Article in Research square, 2023. 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
Introduction: The association of 2-year neurodevelopmental and behavioral outcomes with in-hospital or post-discharge growth failure (GF) using contemporary definitions for preterm infants is unknown. Methods: In a secondary analysis of a preterm cohort, changes in anthropometric z-scores were examined between birth and hospital discharge, and from discharge to 2 years. The 2-year evaluation included Bayley Scales of Infant Development (BSID-III) and Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). Results: Among 629 infants, accelerated linear growth from birth to discharge was associated with higher BSID-III cognitive scores (+ 3.2 points [IQR 0.02, 6.4]) while in-hospital GF was not associated with any outcomes. Infants with weight GF after discharge had lower BSID-III motor scores (-3.1 points [-5.9, -0.2]). Infants with accelerated weight growth after discharge had increased odds of behavioral problems on the CBCL (aOR 1.9 [1.03, 3.5]). Discussion: In-hospital and post-hospitalization growth metrics are modestly associated with neurodevelopmental outcomes with length gains apparently most beneficial.
