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

Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is estimated to occur in 5% of pregnancies, with placental insufficiency being the most common cause in developed countries. While it is known that white matter injury occurs in premature infants, the extent of IUGR on white matter injury is less defined in term infants. We used a novel murine model that utilizes a thromboxane A2 (TXA2) analog (U46619), a potent vasoconstrictor, to induce maternal hypertension and mimic human placental insufficiency-induced IUGR to study the white matter. We also investigated the role of hyperoxia as an additional risk factor for white matter injury, as IUGR infants are at increased risk of respiratory comorbidities leading to increased oxygen exposure. We found that TXA2 analog-induced IUGR results in white matter injury as demonstrated by altered myelin structure and changes in the oligodendroglial cell/oligodendrocyte population. In addition, our study demonstrates that hyperoxia exposure independently results in white matter perturbation. To our knowledge, this is the first study to report single and combined effects of IUGR with hyperoxia impacting the white matter and motor function. These results draw attention to the need for close monitoring of motor development in IUGR babies following hospital discharge as well as highlighting the importance of limiting, as clinically feasible, the degree of oxygen overexposure to potentially improve motor outcomes in this population of infants.
