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

Background: Small for gestational age (SGA) preterm infants are at a higher risk of neurodevelopmental impairments compared with those who are only preterm. We aimed to explore the relationship between visual-motor integration (VMI) and SGA, along with imaging features available for prediction. Methods: We assessed the influence of SGA [including 20 SGA infants and 33 appropriate for gestational age (AGA) infants] on VMI from preterm birth and early brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features that may be predictive markers for the development of VMI in SGA preterm infants. Volume, diffusion MRI related biomarkers and fixel-based microstructural markers were analyzed to assess the visual processing associated regions. VMI was evaluated using standardized developmental assessments at 3, 6 and 18 months of corrected age of expected date of confinement (CA). Results: Brain MRI features within 3 months after birth involved in visual processing regions were found significantly correlated with VMI discrepancies between SGA and AGA preterm infants at 18 months of CA. Conclusions: SGA status in preterm infants plays a significant role in developmental delays in VMI. Early brain MRI features are valuable for predicting the development of VMI in SGA preterm infants.
