How Race and Birthweight May Influence Gender Differences in Retinopathy of Prematurity.
Article in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 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
backgroundROP Check
methodsDe-identified data compared gender to treatment status, race, birthweight (BW), gestational age (GA) and gestational age at first treatment.
resultsFrom 7070 total patients, with 5060 having timely or early initial exams based on American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) guidelines, 386 had treatment for ROP. Males constituted 54.3% of treated infants and 54.4% of all infants. There was no gender difference in gestational age or age at treatment, but males had greater birthweights (685 to 610 g). There were more females treated under 600 g. There were race-related birthweight differences in infants treated for ROP.
conclusionThere are more males screened and treated for ROP, but treatment rates are similar for both genders. Male preponderance reverses for infants with birthweight less than 600 g. Race has an influence on treated ROP.
