Ten-year trends in infant neuroimaging from US Neonatal Intensive Care Units.

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.
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
objectiveTo identify patterns of neuroimaging (NI), including cranial ultrasounds (CUS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), among a large cohort of United States NICU infants. STUDY
designThe retrospective cohort study of the Pediatrix Clinical Data Warehouse for infants discharged between 2008 and 2017.
resultsFrom the 863,863 infants during the study period, 204,197 (24%) had at least one NI study. CUS was the most common study (n = 189,190, 22%) followed by MRI (n = 37,107, 4%). From 2008 to 2017, the percentage of infants who underwent any NI decreased from 28 to 21% (p < 0.001) driven primarily by a reduction in CUS. MRI use for infants ≤33 weeks increased through 2015 and then decreased.
conclusionsOverall reductions in NI have been driven by decreased use of CUS in infants born at 31-33 weeks' gestational age. MRI use among preterm infants has been more dynamic with an initial rise and recent decrease.
