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

objectiveSeveral studies have shown a relation between the size of corpus callosum (CC) and outcome in preterm infants. Three-dimensional ultrasound (3D-US) offers new perspectives in cerebral imaging. To establish reference values for biometry of the CC in very low birth weight infants and to correlate these measurements to neurodevelopmental outcome at 5 years of age. STUDY

designForty-three preterm infants with a gestational age <32 weeks were included. Transfontanellar 3D-US measurements were obtained at nine different timepoints.

results3D-US-based reference values for size, length, circumference and surface area of the CC could be established. Measurements at term-equivalent age showed a correlation to neurodevelopment outcome.

conclusionReliable biometric data of the CC can be established in preterm infants by 3D-US and correlate with neurodevelopmental outcome.
