Comparing head ultrasounds and susceptibility-weighted imaging for the detection of low-grade hemorrhages in preterm infants.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
objectiveIntraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is a complication of prematurity. Grades III and IV IVH lead to significant morbidity, but mounting evidence shows low-grade IVH (grades I-II) may be associated with adverse sequelae. Head ultrasounds (HUS) are used to screen infants for IVH but may miss low-grade IVH. Our study compared the results of HUS around 7 days of age to susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) obtained at term-corrected age in infants born at <30 wGA. STUDY
designInfants <30 weeks gestational age (GA) with an HUS and MRI at admission to UF Health were identified by a retrospective chart review. Images were re-read by a pediatric neuroradiologist.
resultsNinety-four infants with a mean GA of 25.8 weeks were identified. Of those with normal HUS, 50% had low-grade IVH on the term-corrected MRI.
conclusionsHUS are effective for screening for high-grade IVH. SWI is more sensitive in identifying low-grade IVH.
