Neonatal encephalopathy: a prospective comparison of head US and MRI.
Article in Pediatric radiology, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03476343 (Clinical Use of a Neonatal MRI System), which is not on this map. Cited by 29 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.

Abstract
backgroundHead US, the cornerstone neuroimaging modality in neonates, is believed to be less sensitive than MRI for detecting hypoxic ischemic injury (HII). Most reports comparing these modalities are retrospective and have a long interval between the exams.
objectiveTo prospectively characterize the range of abnormalities found in US examinations performed within 2 h of brain MRI in encephalopathic neonates. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 76 consecutive exams met our inclusion criteria. Diagnostic performance of the US images was prospectively compared with MRI.
resultsMRI was considered positive for HII in 53 neonates. Of the remaining 23, MRI was negative for HII in 9, showed white matter abnormalities unrelated to HII in 8, and was inconclusive in 6. Of the 70 neonates with conclusive examinations, the US exam was regarded as positive in 67. Diagnostic accuracy of US was 95.7%.
conclusionOur study demonstrates that US should still be regarded as a screening test in neonates. US is more sensitive for the detection of injury than previously reported, and more attention should be paid to proper US technique. MRI shows disease more extensively and should be accomplished as early as possible.
