Early medical risks to language development in extremely preterm infants.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveTo study the mechanistic role of neonatal morbidities on language performance in extremely preterm (EP) infants. STUDY
designWe conducted secondary analyses on EP infants born at a single tertiary care center, investigating whether neonatal morbidities mediated associations between gestational age and language performance at 18-26 months corrected age.
resultsInfants born at 25-26 weeks (n = 298) outperformed those born at 22-24 weeks (n = 177) in expressive communication, receptive communication, composite language, and cognition. Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), grade 2/3 bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), and cognition partially explained gestational age effects on expressive and receptive communication. In the final sequential path models, infants born 22-24 weeks gestation were more likely to be diagnosed with grade 2/3 BPD, which was linked to diminished cognitive skills, and reduced language skills.
conclusionFamilies of EP infants born under 25 weeks or with ROP and/or grade 2/3 BPD should be counseled about higher language impairment risk and receive proactive intervention.
