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

Objective: This study aimed to clarify biological and environmental factors contributing to the growth rates of preterm children. Methods: Multivariate linear regression analysis was used to identify the influence of biological and environmental factors on the reference values for the growth rates and the expression levels of serum IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 in preterm children. Results: This study revealed that the growth rates of length and weight in preterm children were significantly lower than those in full-term children during the first 6 months of age, and the growth rate of head circumference in preterm children was significantly lower than that in full-term children during the first 3 months of age ( Conclusion: This study established scientific parameter models for promoting growth and development of preterm children.
