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

purposeIntraventricular hemorrhage is the most important adverse neurologic event for preterm and very low weight birth infants in the neonatal period. This pathology can lead to various delays in motor, language, and cognition development. The aim of this article is to give an overview of the knowledge in diagnosis, classification, and treatment options of this pathology.

methodA systematic review has been made.

resultsThe cranial ultrasound can be used to identify the hemorrhage and grade it according to the modified Papile grading system. There is no standardized protocol of intervention as there are controversial results on which of the temporizing neurosurgical procedures is best and about the appropriate parameters to consider a conversion to ventriculoperitoneal shunt. However, it has been established that the most important prognosis factor is the involvement and damage of the white matter.

conclusionMore evidence is required to create a standardized protocol that can ensure the best possible outcome for these patients.
