Short-Term Neonatal Outcomes Following Early-Term vs. Full-Term and Late-Preterm Births: Insights from a Retrospective Cohort Study.
Article in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. 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
backgroundConceptualizing gestation as a developmental continuum highlights that even among term infants, distinct subgroups-such as early-term and full-term infants-may exhibit meaningful differences in morbidity and clinical outcomes.
objectiveTo compare early neonatal outcomes among late-preterm (LP), early-term (ET), and full-term (FT) infants.
methodsA retrospective observational study analyzed data of infants born between 34
resultsET infants had intermediate outcomes between LP and FT groups. LOS and respiratory support needs were higher in ET than FT infants. NICU admissions were significantly more frequent in LP infants; ET infants exhibited higher weight loss and more frequent elective cesarean deliveries compared to FT infants. Readmission rates were higher in ET compared to FT infants.
conclusionsET infants, while more stable than LP infants, experienced increased short-term morbidity compared to FT neonates. These findings support minimizing elective delivery before 39 weeks unless clinically indicated.
