Perinatal MRI diffusivity is related to early assessment of motor performance in preterm neonates.
Article in The neuroradiology journal, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Preterm neonates represent a high-risk population for abnormal neuropsychological development. But presently, an accurate method for identifying those at risk is not available. This study evaluated the association between the microstructural organization measured with Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) in term-corrected preterm neonates and subsequent motor performance. Fractional anisotropy (FA), axial diffusion (AD), mean diffusivity (MD) and radial diffusivity (RD) were determined in two regions of interest (ROIs) corresponding to the posterior limb of the internal capsule (PLIC) and cortico-spinal tract (CST). The Griffiths Mental Developmental Scales (GMDS) were longitudinally administered at 3, 6 and 15 months; and correlations between the metrics of diffusivity and the motor subscale of the GMDS were assessed using the Spearman correlation. A statistically significant negative correlation was observed between the AD of PLIC of the left hemisphere and the 3-month GMDS Locomotor Subscale. These results suggested that AD is a valid indicator of the stage of maturation of the motor pathway in preterm neonates, but not of later motor outcome.
