Prevalence of feeding difficulties in children aged six months to six years who were born prematurely.

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
purposeTo describe the prevalence of feeding difficulties in preterm children aged six months to six years and eleven months, and to analyze the relationships with perinatal and neonatal conditions.
methodsThis cross-sectional ambispective study applied the Brazilian Infant Feeding Scale to the parents of 129 children followed in preterm outpatient clinics to assess the prevalence of feeding difficulties. Additional variables were collected retrospectively from medical records.
resultsFifteen children (11.62%) out of 129 exhibited feeding difficulties. Significant influencing variables were being born small for gestational age, having a mother with gestational diabetes mellitus, and undergoing phototherapy. Ventilatory support duration correlated with the Motor-Oral domain, and phototherapy duration correlated with the Sensory-Oral domain of the Brazilian Infant Feeding Scale.
conclusionThe Brazilian Infant Feeding Scale showed that the prevalence of long-term Feeding Difficulty in preterm infants was 11.62%. Small for Gestational Age newborns showed a higher prevalence. Children undergoing phototherapy and offspring of mothers with gestational diabetes showed a lower prevalence. The other variables studied did not significantly affect the prevalence of Feeding Difficulties, but the duration of ventilatory support affected the Oral-motor domain, and the duration of phototherapy also affected the Oral-Motor. This study marks the first application of the Brazilian Infant Feeding Scale in Brazilian preterm infants.
