Child, Parent, and Contextual Correlates of School Readiness Among Children With Low Birth Weight.
Article in Academic pediatrics, 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
objectiveAmong US children with low birth weight (LBW) 1) determine prevalence of school readiness; and 2) examine associations between school readiness and medical factors (special health care needs, birth weight), sociodemographic characteristics (child race and ethnicity, household income, parental education, household language), community supports (early intervention/special education, outside childcare, medical home, neighborhood amenities), parent factors (mental health, emotional support, family resilience), and parenting practices (bedtime, mealtime, storytelling routines; daily screentime).
methodsWe studied 1421 children 3 to 5 years with birth weight <2500g from the 2016-19 National Survey of Children's Health. We calculated the prevalence of school readiness overall and in individual domains (early learning skills, physical health/motor development, social-emotional development, and self-regulation). We investigated associations between predictors and school readiness with logistic regression.
resultsThirty percent of children with LBW were on-track for school readiness. Domain-specific readiness ranged from 45% in early learning skills to 87% in physical health/motor development. More complex special health care needs (average marginal effect [AME] -17%, 95% confidence interval [CI] -30%, -9%), parental education high school or less (AME -16%, 95% CI -15%, -4%), and early intervention/special education (AME -14%, 95% CI -26%, -5%) were negatively associated with school readiness. Parental emotional support (AME 12%, 95% CI 0.9%, 24%) and <1 hour of daily screentime (AME 16%, 95% CI 6%, 29%) were positively associated with school readiness.
conclusionsLess than one-third of US children with LBW were on-track for school readiness. Future work should focus on improving school readiness among this population.
