Respiratory health in a total very low birthweight cohort and their classroom controls.
Article in Archives of disease in childhood, 1996. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 papers.
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
aimsTo compare the respiratory health and function at 8 to 9 years of age of a total population based cohort of 300 very low birthweight (VLBW) children with that of two classroom controls (n = 590) matched for age and sex. STUDY
designCohort study with controls.
settingSchools throughout Scotland.
resultsThe VLBW children were more likely than their peers to use an inhaler, to be absent from school, and to be admitted to hospital because of respiratory illness. They were significantly shorter than their classroom controls, but even after adjusting for differences in height, the VLBW children had reduced forced vital capacity (FVC); this was associated with a history of prolonged ventilation (> 28 days) and pneumothorax in the neonatal period. There were no significant differences between the groups in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1)/FVC but twice as many (7.9% v 3.7%) of the VLBW children had ratios < 70%, denoting obstructive airways disease. Poor expiratory function was associated with neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, prolonged ventilation, and the need for > 40% oxygen. Exercise induced airway narrowing was increased in VLBW children (odds ratio = 2.0; 95% confidence interval 1.2 to 3.4) and was very little changed by adjustment for inhaler use and exposure to cigarette smoke.
conclusionsAs in other low birthweight cohorts, respiratory morbidity was increased. Unlike previous studies, FVC was more affected than expiratory function in this VLBW population. Our findings support the hypothesis that poorer lung function is associated with very low birth weight, but not with intrauterine growth retardation.
