Neurodevelopmental outcome of low-risk moderate to late preterm infants at 18 months.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Background: Of the 15 million preterm births that occur worldwide each year, approximately 80% occur between 32 and 36 + 6 weeks gestational age (GA) and are defined as moderate to late preterm (MLP) infants. This percentage substantiates a need for a better understanding of the neurodevelopmental outcome of this group. Aim: To describe neurodevelopmental outcome at 18 months in a cohort of healthy low-risk MLP infants admitted to the neonatal unit at birth and to compare the neurodevelopmental outcome to that of a healthy term-born infant group. Study design and method: This single-centre observational study compared the neurodevelopmental outcome of healthy MLP infants to a group of healthy term control (TC) infants recruited during the same period using the Griffith's III assessment at 18 months. Results: Seventy-five MLP infants and 92 TC infants were included. MLP infants scored significantly lower in the subscales: Eye-hand coordination (C), Personal, Social and Emotional Development (D), Gross Motor Development (E) and General Developmental (GD) ( Conclusion: MLP infants are at risk of suboptimal neurodevelopmental outcomes. Greater surveillance of the neurodevelopmental trajectory of this group of at-risk preterm infants is required.
