The longitudinal effects of neonatal anthropometry on attention problems in males and females.

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
Background: The longitudinal impact of fetal growth on attention problems in males and females is unclear. This study aims to evaluate the impact of fetal growth assessed by neonatal anthropometry throughout childhood and adolescence in males and females separately. Methods: We compared neonatal anthropometry (birth weight (BW), head circumference (HC), proportion of optimal birthweight (POBW)) and asymmetry (head-to-abdominal circumference ratio (HC/AC) and ponderal index (PI)) at birth with parental assessment of the child behavior checklist attention-problem syndrome (CBCL-AP) raw score measured at ages five, eight, 10, 14 and 17. We used univariable and multivariable linear mixed-effects modeling. Sensitivity analyses included excluding pre-term births, teacher ratings and treating the CBCL-AP as an ordinal variable. Results: In males, a 1-SD lower BW, increased CBCL-AP by 0.234 (95%CI [-0.422, -0.0497]). In males, a 1-SD lower HC increased CBCL-AP by 0.316 (95%CI [0.495, 0.133]). In males, there was a U-shaped relationship between HC/AC and CBCL-AP throughout childhood and adolescence; a curvilinear relationship was observed between POBW and CBCL-AP. In females, a 1 SD lower HC increased CBCL-AP 0.424 (95%CI [0.726, 0.133]), but every increased year of age reduced the effect by 0.027 (95% Conclusions: Using a longitudinal design, our study suggests a male vulnerability to attention problems throughout childhood and adolescence from neonatal anthropometry. The relationships in females appear to be limited to childhood.
