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

backgroundImproved quantitative assessment of cerebral hemodynamics in newborns might enable us to optimize cerebral perfusion. Our objective was to develop an approach to assess cerebral hemodynamics across multiple time scales during the first 72 hours of life in newborns during hypothermia therapy.

methodsSpontaneous oscillations in mean arterial pressure and regional cerebral tissue oxygen saturation were analyzed using a moving window correlation method with time scales ranging from 0.15 to 8 hours in this pilot methodology study. Abnormal neurodevelopmental outcome was defined by Bayley III scores and/or cerebral palsy by age 24 months using receiver operating curve.

resultsMultiple-time-scale correlations between the mean arterial pressure and regional cerebral tissue oxygen saturation oscillations were tested in 10 asphyxiated newborns undergoing hypothermia therapy. Large noninduced fluctuations in the blood pressure were observed during cooling in all five infants with abnormal outcomes. Notably, these infants had two distinct patterns of correlation: a positive in-phase correlation at the short time scales (15 minutes) and/or a negative antiphase correlations observed at long time scales (4 hours.). Both the in-phase (area under the curve 0.6, [95% confidence interval 0.2-0.95]) and antiphase correlations (area under the curve 0.75, [95% confidence interval 0.4-0.95]) appeared to be related to an abnormal outcome.

conclusionsOur observations suggest that the time scale is an important factor that needs to be standardized in the assessment of neonatal cerebral hemodynamics.
