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

aimTo describe the association between different physical activity and sleep parameters in school-aged children born very preterm.

methodsA cross-sectional analysis was done in a cohort of 6- to 10-year-old children born at < 32 weeks' gestation at the Department of Neonatology, University of Tübingen, Germany. Data were collected between May and November 2022 using actigraphy for sleep and activity, as well as patient records, questionnaires, and anthropometric measurements.

resultsTwo hundred and thirty five children (46% girls) were analysed at a median age of 8.0 (6.0-9.0) years. Daily sleep duration averaged 8.5 (SD: ±0.7) h. 24.7% achieved daily recommendations of 60 min moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA). Total physical activity, measured as counts/min, differed based on gestational age, with children born < 28 weeks' gestation exhibiting higher activity than those born at 28-32 weeks. Regression analysis showed one standard deviation (SD) increase in sleep efficiency associated with a 0.14 SD decrease in total physical activity (Standardized β: -0.14, CI: -0.26 to -0.02) and 37% lower odds of being in the higher MVPA group (OR: 0.63, CI: 0.47 to 0.83).

conclusionOur study revealed important differences in some aspects of sleep and activity behaviour by gestational age that warrant future investigations.
