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

The aim of this population-based study was to evaluate the characteristics of cerebral palsy (CP) in relation to the predominant pattern of the Magnetic Resonance Imaging Classification System (MRICS) that was analogously applied to the neonatal/early infant cranial ultrasound (CUS). The study included children born during the 2004-2007 period from the Croatian part (C28 RCP-HR) of the Surveillance of Cerebral Palsy in Europe (SCPE) CP register. Motor functions, accompanying impairments and brain MRI were evaluated in 227 children, 185 of which also had CUS. Concerning CP types, 56% of children had bilateral spastic, 34% unilateral spastic, 9% dyskinetic and 1% ataxic CP type. Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) revealed that 62.05% had mild (GMFCS I-III) and 37.85% had severe motor impairment (GMFCS IV-V). CUS showed white matter injury in 60%, gray matter injury in 12%, maldevelopments in 8%, miscellaneous changes in 14%, while 6% were normal; MRI showed significant agreement (κ=0.675, p<0.001). Neuroimaging findings of maldevelopments and predominant gray matter injury were associated with more severe CP, but 7% of children with CP had normal MRI. As we found very good agreement between CUS and MRI findings, CUS is recommended in children at an increased risk of CP if MRI is not available.
