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

Acquired brain injury from traumatic brain injury, cardiac arrest (CA), stroke, and central nervous system infection is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the pediatric population and reason for admission to inpatient rehabilitation. Therapeutic hypothermia is the only intervention shown to have efficacy from bench to bedside in improving neurological outcome after birth asphyxia and adult arrhythmia-induced CA, thought to be due to its multiple mechanisms of action. Research to determine if therapeutic hypothermia should be applied to other causes of brain injury and how to best apply it is underway in children and adults. Changes in clinical practice in the hospitalized brain-injured child may have effects on rehabilitation referral practices, goals and strategies of therapies offered, and may increase the degree of complex medical problems seen in children referred to inpatient rehabilitation.
