Factors influencing participation in home, school, and community settings by 6- to 9-year-old children born preterm: a qualitative descriptive study.
Article in Quality of life research : an international journal of quality of life aspects of treatment, care and rehabilitation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeThere is no published information on preterm children's activities and participation during middle childhood, a time when growth and development are characterised by increasing motor, reasoning, self-regulation, social and executive functioning skills. This study explored the health, activities and participation of children born very preterm during middle childhood (6-9 years) from the perspectives of their parents.
methodsThis was a qualitative descriptive design. Twenty parents of 27 very preterm children born < 32 weeks gestation participated in semi-structured interviews to explore their child's health, behaviour, functioning and participation in school, at home and in the community along with environment and personal factors that influenced the child's activities and participation. Interview data were coded to each of the International Classification of Functioning in Disability (ICF-CY) domains.
resultsParents reported a broad range of health needs and participation outcomes. Parents reported challenges related to respiratory health, mental health and behaviour, sleep, nutrition and feeding. The child's participation and functioning were influenced by both personal and environmental factors including but not limited to parenting styles, education and learning support, access to health support and personal preferences and motivations.
conclusionPreterm birth is associated with impacts on the child's health, activities and participation. This comprehensive view on the child's health and wellbeing can aid clinicians in their management of these children.
