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

It is well known that the coordination among several subsystems in newborns is effectively changing as a function of behavioral states. For this reason, sleep state characterization is an essential procedure in neonatal monitoring. Despite its importance, methodologies assessing sleep states are discrete in time and usually based on visual inspection. In this work, we validate a point process framework on a population of 113 full-term infants with the aim of providing continuous sleep state characterization over time. After determining a suitable probability density distribution to best fit the neonatal RR series, we compare traditional heart rate variability (HRV) parameters with the point process-extracted sets of time and frequency domain instantaneous measures in order to validate the proposed framework. Our results provide insights into the point process ability to capture HRV dynamics with a high degree of reliability, thus providing evidence that our framework might be employed for an instantaneous estimate of behavioral states.
