Developmental trajectories in high-risk NICU graduates during the first year of life.
Article in Early human development, 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
objectiveWe examined whether early medical factors predicted variability in developmental level and trajectories in high-risk neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) graduates during the first year of life.
methodInfants (n = 53) who met criteria for the High-Risk Infant Follow-up Program were enrolled. Simple linear models predicted 12-month developmental abilities and linear mixed models predicted 6- to 12-month trajectories based on length of NICU stay and birthweight.
resultsLength of NICU stay was more clearly predictive of 12-month developmental level, while birthweight better explained variability in trajectories. Communication and daily living skills varied based on early medical factors, whereas social skills did not. Motor skills varied by length of stay but not birthweight.
conclusionResults support the need for close developmental monitoring of NICU graduates, particularly those with lengthier stays and lower birthweight. Developmental support needs should be based not just on current delays, but on the rate at which infants learn new skills.
