Diaphragm ultrasound and lung aeration in small-for-gestational-age versus appropriate-for-gestational-age newborns: a cross-sectional study.

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
objectiveTo compare diaphragm ultrasound findings and lung aeration between SGA and AGA newborns.
methodsIn this cross-sectional study, clinically stable term SGA and AGA newborns underwent diaphragm and lung ultrasound. Diaphragm parameters and 6-region lung ultrasound score (LUS) were assessed, with thickness and excursion normalized by birth weight.
resultsFifty-four newborns were included (27 SGA and 27 AGA). SGA newborns had lower absolute inspiratory and expiratory diaphragmatic thicknesses; however, these between-group differences were no longer significant after normalization by birth weight. Regression analyses adjusting for body weight continued to demonstrate an association between SGA status and diaphragmatic thickness. No significant differences were observed in diaphragmatic functional indices or pulmonary aeration.
conclusionsSGA newborns had lower absolute diaphragmatic thickness than AGA newborns, while diaphragmatic function and pulmonary aeration were preserved. Differences in thickness were influenced by body size but were not fully explained by birth weight.
