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

Electroencephalography (EEG) is a valuable clinical tool for grading injury caused by lack of blood and oxygen to the brain during birth. This study presents a novel end-to-end architecture, using a deep convolutional neural network, that learns hierarchical representations within raw EEG data. The system classifies 4 grades of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy and is evaluated on a multi-channel EEG dataset of 63 hours from 54 newborns. The proposed method achieves a testing accuracy of 79.6% with one-step voting and 81.5% with two-step voting. These results show how a feature-free approach can be used to classify different grades of injury in newborn EEG with comparable accuracy to existing feature-based systems. Automated grading of newborn background EEG could help with the early identification of those infants in need of interventional therapies such as hypothermia.
