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.

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.

Abstract

An infant's risk of developing neuromotor impairment is primarily assessed through visual examination by specialized clinicians. Therefore, many infants at risk for impairment go undetected, particularly in under-resourced environments. There is thus a need to develop automated, clinical assessments based on quantitative measures from widely-available sources, such as videos recorded on a mobile device. Here, we automatically extract body poses and movement kinematics from the videos of at-risk infants (N = 19). For each infant, we calculate how much they deviate from a group of healthy infants (N = 85 online videos) using a Naïve Gaussian Bayesian Surprise metric. After pre-registering our Bayesian Surprise calculations, we find that infants who are at high risk for impairments deviate considerably from the healthy group. Our simple method, provided as an open-source toolkit, thus shows promise as the basis for an automated and low-cost assessment of risk based on video recordings.
