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

objectivesSmall for gestational age (SGA) singletons are at increased risk for neurodevelopmental abnormalities. Scarce data exist regarding the long-term implications of SGA in twins. We opted to study the association between SGA of one twin and long-term neurologic related morbidity in dichorionic diamniotic twins. STUDY

designA population-based retrospective cohort study including consecutive dichorionic diamniotic twins, born between the years 1991 and 2021 at a tertiary medical center was conducted. Total and subtypes of neurologic related pediatric hospitalizations among SGA versus non-SGA twins were compared. A Kaplan-Meier survival curve was used to compare the cumulative neurologic morbidity incidence, and a Cox proportional hazards model was constructed to adjust for confounders.

resultsThe study population included 4222 newborns; 180 (4.3%) were SGA. Rate of long-term neurologic related hospitalizations was comparable between the two groups (8.7 vs. 8.0%, p = 0.755; Kaplan-Meier survival curve Log-rank p = 0.652). Using a Cox proportional hazards model, controlling for gender and birth order, no association was found between SGA and the risk for subsequent neurologic pediatric morbidity of the offspring (Adjusted HR = 1.0, 95% CI 0.6-1.8, p = 0.973).

conclusionsSGA is not associated with an increased risk for long-term pediatric neurologic morbidity in dichorionic diamniotic twins.
