Community participation, physical activity, and quality of life for children born very preterm.
Article in Developmental medicine and child neurology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
aimTo investigate the effects of community environment on physical activity and quality of life (QoL) and to describe the relationship between community participation with physical activity and QoL, in children born very preterm and at term.
methodParticipants in this cross-sectional study were 45 children aged 4 to 5 years old, born before 30 weeks' gestation and 89 term-born children. Measures were community participation (Young Children's Participation and Environment Measure; frequency, involvement, environmental helpfulness, environmental resources), QoL (Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory 4.0; PedsQL), and physical activity (7-day accelerometry). Effects of environmental helpfulness and resources on physical activity and QoL were estimated using g-computation. Relationships between participation frequency and involvement with physical activity and QoL were estimated using linear regression.
resultsEnvironmental helpfulness increased physical activity (average minute increase per percentage point environmental helpfulness score increase; 3, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.1-7), reduced stationary time (-2, 95% CI -5 to -0.2) and improved QoL (average PedsQL social functioning score increase; 0.7, 95% CI 0.1-1.2). Greater community involvement was associated with better QoL (average PedsQL total score increase per unit involvement score increase; 5.8, 95% CI 0.7-10.9).
interpretationImproving environmental helpfulness may improve physical activity and QoL for 4- to 5-year-old children. Greater community involvement is associated with better QoL.
