1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeTo verify the association between language development and sociodemographic, peri- and postnatal aspects of children with a history of prematurity followed up in an outpatient clinic.

methodsThis was an observational, analytical, cross-sectional, and preliminary study comprising 61 preterm infants aged between 12 months (corrected age) and 65 months (chronological age). Language development was assessed using the raw scores of the ADL-2 Scale in receptive, expressive, and global modalities. Sociodemographic, peri-, and postnatal information was obtained through medical record analysis. Data were subjected to descriptive, association, and correlation analyses.

resultsDescriptive analysis indicated lower language scores among male children, those from lower socioeconomic classes, those born via cesarean delivery, and those with a history of intracranial hemorrhage. No statistically significant associations or correlations were found.

conclusionAlthough no statistically significant associations were observed, the descriptive findings suggest possible influences of sex, socioeconomic status, mode of delivery, and intracranial hemorrhage on the language performance of preterm infants. The results reinforce the importance of considering multiple factors in the language development of preterm children, suggesting longitudinal follow-up for timely interventions.
