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

introductionStroke is the clinical designation for a rapidly developing loss of brain function due to an interruption in the blood supply to all or part of the brain. It is the third cause of death in adults and one of the top 10 causes in pediatric age. The perinatal period of onset is the second only to adult age group in the incidence of stroke. Arterial ischemic stroke during childhood occurs most frequently in the perinatal period with an incidence of 1 out 2300-5000 live infant births. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis is a retrospective study that includes 28 patients affected by perinatal arterial ischemic stroke. Family and gestational history, risk factors of perinatal stroke, gender and clinical data of affected children and outcome are reported.

resultsA stroke family history was registered in three unrelated families. Gestational history disclosed cases of threats of abortion, preterm delivery, hyperthermia, gestosis, and placental disorders. In the children, onset of seizures were reported within 3 days of life and diagnosis of stroke was confirmed by brain MRI which disclosed involvement of the middle cerebral artery in all the cases. Hemilateral cerebral palsy, epileptic seizures, and intellectual disability from mild to severe were the most frequent complications.

conclusionStroke is still a common and dreadful events in perinatal period as this disorder is often unpredictable and cause of severe neurological impairment.
