Neurodevelopment of children born with gastroschisis: a scoping review.
Article in Pediatric research, 2026. 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
The neurodevelopment of children with gastroschisis may be affected by intrinsic (exposure of the abdominal viscera to the amniotic fluid, causing an inflammatory reaction) and extrinsic (pain, mobility restriction, hospitalization) factors. Thus, the objective of this study was to analyze the information available in the literature on the neurodevelopment of children born with this pathology. A scoping review was done, considering as outcomes the neurodevelopment in the motor, cognitive and language domains. A search was performed in the main databases using the term "gastroschisis", associated with: "neurodevelopment", "impairment", "motor delay" and "language delay". Articles in English, published in the last 10 years, were included; but those that addressed other pathologies were excluded. Eleven studies were included, mostly case series (n = 7), with samples ranging from 14 to 88 participants and ages ranging from 12 months to 10 years. The results were controversial, some reporting normal development, and others reporting deficiencies in all domains. Complex gastroschisis can be an additional risk for neurodevelopment delays. Gastroschisis is a relatively rare malformation, but the increased survival of these children stresses the relevance of investigating short- and long-term outcomes in relation to neurodevelopment to improve the care of this population. IMPACT: This review provides a comprehensive update on neurodevelopment of children born with gastroschisis. There is insufficient evidence to support or reject the idea that gastroschisis interferes negatively with neurodevelopment, but complex gastroschisis can be an additional risk for neurodevelopment delays in this population. Prematurity and being born small-for-gestation-age are confounders factors on evaluation of neurodevelopment on children born with gastroschisis. Additional studies to obtain sufficient information size, focusing on lowering bias risk, and with longer duration of analysis, are required.
