Developmental changes in the efficiency of attentional networks in very preterm children during the transition from preschool to school.
Article in The British journal of developmental psychology, 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
This longitudinal study examined changes in the efficiency of the attentional system during the transition from preschool to school in children born very prematurely. Seventy-one Polish children participated: 34 born before 32 weeks of gestation (47.1% boys) and 37 full-term peers (48.6% boys). The Attention Network Task-Child Version was administered at ages 5 and 6. At age 5, very preterm children showed reduced efficiency in alerting and orienting compared to full-term children. By age 6, alerting efficiency improved in the preterm group, and no longer differed from the control group. However, group differences in attentional orienting persisted at the follow-up assessment at age 6. These findings suggested partial improvement in attentional functioning in very preterm children during early development, with persistent differences in attentional orienting compared to full-term peers.
