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

objectiveThis study compared neonatal morbidities in Small-for-Gestational-Age (SGA) preterm infants to gestation- and birthweight-matched controls.

methodsProspective cohort study conducted on preterm infants born between 24

resultsAmong 148 preterm infants (54 SGA, 54 in each control group). SGA infants had higher rates of hypothermia, necrotising enterocolitis (NEC), and hypoglycaemia compared to controls. Intraventricular haemorrhage was more prevalent in birthweight-matched controls. SGA infants regained birthweight faster (day 8 vs. day 11, p < 0.0002). No significant differences were found in length of stay or respiratory support.

conclusionSGA is an independent risk factor for hypothermia, NEC, and hypoglycaemia, beyond the risks incurred by being born preterm but well-grown for gestation.
