School-age lung function after preterm birth: early-life determinants in a paediatric pulmonology cohort with comparison with NHANES.
Article in Thorax, 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
introductionLung-function outcomes among preterm-born children referred for pulmonology care are highly heterogeneous, and early determinants remain incompletely defined. We aimed to identify early-life factors associated with school-age lung function after preterm birth and to examine whether school-age spirometry patterns relate to subsequent lung-function trajectories.
methodsEarly-life analyses (n=511) examined predictors of forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV
resultsLower weight-for-height at 4 years was non-linearly associated with both FEV DISCUSSION: Early-childhood growth, neonatal respiratory exposures and school-age spirometry patterns help stratify long-term pulmonary risk among preterm-born children referred for pulmonary care.
