Epidemiology of neonatal stroke: A population-based study.
Article in Paediatrics & child health, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
objectiveThe goal of this study was to obtain population-based data on the incidence, clinical presentation, management, imaging features, and long-term outcomes of patients with all types of neonatal stroke (NS).
methodsFull-term neonates with NS born between January 2007 and December 2013 were identified through the Nova Scotia Provincial Perinatal Follow-up Program Database. Perinatal data and neonatal course were reviewed. Neurodevelopmental outcomes were assessed at 18 and 36 months of age using standardized testing.
resultsTwenty-nine neonates with NS were identified during the study period, giving an incidence of 47 per 100,000 live births in Nova Scotia. Arterial ischemic stroke was the most common stroke type (76%), followed by neonatal hemorrhagic stroke (17%), then cerebral sinovenous thrombosis (7%). The majority of neonates presented with seizures (86%) on the first day of life (76%). At 36 months of age, 23 (79%) of the children had a normal outcome, while 3 (10%) were diagnosed with cerebral palsy (2 with neonatal arterial stroke and one with neonatal hemorrhagic stroke) and 3 (10%) had recurrent seizures (1 patient from each stroke subtype group).
conclusionThe incidence of NS in Nova Scotia is higher than what has been reported internationally in the literature. However, the neurodevelopmental outcomes at 3 years of age are better. Further studies are required to better understand the reasons for these findings.
