Neurodevelopmental outcomes in adolescents born very and extremely preterm: a prolonged follow-up from a single-center cohort.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Preterm birth remains a major global health concern, with growing evidence linking it to long-term neurodevelopmental and psychiatric sequelae. Children born very or extremely preterm are at increased risk for cognitive, motor, and emotional difficulties that may persist into adolescence. Materials and methods: We conducted a retrospective and prospective observational study involving 29 adolescents (aged 14-18 years) born very or extremely preterm between 2005 and 2011 at the University Hospital of Parma. Participants underwent in-person neurological examinations, cognitive testing (Raven's Progressive Matrices), and motor assessments (Movement ABC-2 or Brief Motor Scale), alongside retrieval of early developmental scores from the Bayley Scales (administered between 3 and 36 months). Results: Early cognitive assessments showed strong predictive associations with later intellectual functioning: MDI scores at 12 and 18 months correlated significantly with Raven QI equivalent scores in adolescence ( Conclusions: These findings suggest that the 12-18 month developmental assessment window carries meaningful prognostic value for both cognitive and motor outcomes in preterm survivors, and support the implementation of structured multidisciplinary surveillance extending into adolescence.
