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

purposeThe long-term impact of low-grade germinal matrix-intraventricular hemorrhage (GMH-IVH) on brain perfusion has not been fully investigated. We aimed to compare cortical and deep gray matter (GM) cerebral blood flow (CBF) obtained with pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling (pCASL), among preterm neonates with and without low-grade GMH-IVH and full-term controls.

methods3T-pCASL examinations of 9 healthy full-term neonates (mean gestational age 38.5 weeks, range 38-39) and 28 preterm neonates studied at term-equivalent age were analyzed. Eighteen preterm neonates presented normal brain MRI (mean gestational age 30.50 weeks, range 29-31) and 10 low-grade GMH-IVH according to Volpe's grading system (mean gestational age 32 weeks, range 28-34). A ROI-based mean CBF quantification was performed in 5 cortical (frontal, parietal, temporal, insula, occipital), and 4 subcortical GM regions (caudate, putamen, pallidum, thalamus) for each cerebral hemisphere. CBF differences were explored using a nonparametric analysis of covariance.

resultsLow-grade GMH-IVH hemispheres showed consistently lower CBF in all GM regions when compared with healthy preterm neonates, after controlling the confounding effect of gestational age, postmenstrual age, and birth weight P < .001, η

conclusionLow-grade GMH-IVH is associated with lower CBF in posterior cortical and subcortical gray matter regions in preterm neonates, suggesting regional vulnerability of these developing brain structures.
