Risk Factors Associated with Extrauterine Growth Restriction (EUGR) Among Hospitalised Preterm Neonates <34 Weeks of Gestational Age: A Prospective Cohort Study.
Article in Indian journal of pediatrics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
objectivesTo estimate the incidence of extrauterine growth restriction (EUGR) in neonates born before 34 wk of gestation and identify associated risk factors.
methodsA prospective cohort study was conducted in a Level III neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) from December 2019 to October 2021, including preterm neonates (<34 wk gestation) admitted and survived at least three weeks and crossed birth weight. Neonates with congenital malformations or those transferred before three weeks were excluded. Anthropometric measurements were taken at birth and discharge, and clinical, nutritional, and comorbidity data were analysed. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression identified risk factors for EUGR.
resultsAmong 152 eligible preterm neonates, the incidence of EUGR was 54.6% (n = 83), with higher rates in extreme preterm (68.9%; n = 20) and very low birth weight (VLBW) infants (75%; n = 63). Lower gestational age, lower birth weight, prolonged total parenteral nutrition (TPN) use, delayed full feeds, and later Kangaroo mother care (KMC) initiation were significantly associated with EUGR. Multivariate analysis identified gestational age {(aOR-14.5 (4.7-45)} and delayed KMC initiation {(aOR-1.3 (1.1-1.5)} as independent predictors of EUGR.
conclusionsEUGR remains a major concern in preterm neonates, particularly in extremely low birth weight infants. Delayed initiation of KMC was identified as a modifiable risk factor. Early initiation of KMC in NICU settings could be prioritized to reduce EUGR incidence.
