1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

aimExtremely low-birthweight (ELBW) infants face an increased risk of physical, cognitive, and psychosocial challenges affecting health-related quality of life (HRQoL). However, few studies have examined their long-term prognosis in Japan. We aimed to assess the HRQoL of adolescents and young adults born with ELBW and identified associated factors.

methodsA multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted in Japan between January and March 2019. Adolescents and young adults born with ELBW completed the Japanese version of the Short Form Health Survey-8 and provided sociodemographic and health-related data.

resultsAmong 289 eligible participants, 169 (58.5%) returned the HRQoL questionnaire (129 self-respondents and 40 proxy respondents). Proxy respondents had lower birth weights and higher rates of motor and neurodevelopmental impairment. Among self-respondents, moderate-to-severe attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) was associated with low physical (β = -0.36, 95% CI -0.54 to -0.18, p < 0.001) and mental (β = -0.29, 95% CI -0.48 to -0.10, p = 0.003) component summary scores, while motor impairment was associated with decreased physical component summary score (β = -0.23, 95% CI -0.40 to -0.05, p = 0.012).

conclusionsADHD and motor impairment are associated with low HRQoL. Long-term evaluations and tailored support strategies are essential for this population.
