Anthropometry After Prematurity and Foetal Growth Restriction in Childhood and Adolescence.
Article in Acta paediatrica (Oslo, Norway : 1992), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
aimLimited evidence exists on how different degrees of prematurity and foetal growth deviations impact anthropometric outcomes during childhood and adolescence.
methodsThe Gutenberg Prematurity Study Young (GPSY) is a retrospective cohort with prospective assessments of 4-17-year-olds born preterm or at term at the University Medical Center Mainz, Germany. Participants were classified by gestational age and birth weight into five categories: severely small for gestational age (SGA; < 3rd percentile), moderately SGA (3rd-< 10th percentile), appropriate for gestational age (AGA; 10th-90th percentile), moderately large for gestational age (LGA; > 90th-97th percentile) and severely LGA (> 97th percentile). Anthropometric parameters were analysed using multivariable regression models.
resultsAmong 949 participants (median age 12.0 years; 52% female), lower gestational age was associated with reduced height and smaller head circumference across all ages, and lower weight in early childhood and adolescence. SGA birth was consistently linked to shorter height, lower weight, lower BMI in school-aged children, and smaller head circumference, especially at school age and adolescence. LGA birth was associated with increased height at school age and higher weight in early childhood and adolescence.
conclusionThese findings underscore the need for targeted growth monitoring and early interventions to optimise long-term health trajectories.
