Smaller Left Ventricular Size But Preserved Function in Adolescents and Adults Born Preterm.
Article in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundPrematurely born adults have increased risk for cardiovascular disease. There are limited cardiac data on US-born preterm individuals. We aimed to determine whether adolescents and adults born prematurely have altered left ventricular (LV) structure and function, and to interrogate diastolic function using isometric handgrip exercise. METHODS AND
resultsAdolescents and adults born moderately to extremely preterm (≤32 weeks gestation or <1500 g birth weight) were recruited from the Parkland Health Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Registry. Full-term participants were recruited from the local area. Study procedures included anthropometrics and vitals, handgrip testing, and echocardiography performed at rest and during isometric handgrip exercise. Data were reported as mean±SD. The study enrolled 107 preterm and 48 term participants. Preterm participants (gestational age: 29.5±2.5 weeks) were shorter with higher body mass index (
conclusionsAdolescents and adults born preterm exhibit overall normal cardiac function despite smaller cardiac volumes and mass compared with individuals born full term. Effects are most pronounced at the lowest gestational ages.
