Cerebral cortical autonomic connectivity in low-risk term newborns.
Article in Clinical autonomic research : official journal of the Clinical Autonomic Research Society, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeThe mature central autonomic network includes connectivity between autonomic nervous system brainstem centers and the cerebral cortex. The study objective was to evaluate the regional connectivity between the cerebral cortex and brainstem autonomic centers in term newborns by measuring coherence between high-density electroencephalography and heart rate variability as measured by electrocardiography.
methodsLow-risk term newborns with birth gestational age of 39-40 weeks were prospectively enrolled and studied using time-synced electroencephalography and electrocardiography for up to 60 min before discharge from the birth hospital. The ccortical autonomicc nervous system association was analyzed using coherence between electroencephalography-delta power and heart rate variability. Heart rate variability measured the parasympathetic tone (root mean square of successive differences of heart rate) and sympathetic tone (standard deviation of heart rate).
resultsOne hundred and twenty-nine low-risk term infants were included. High coherence delta-root mean square of successive differences was found in central, bitemporal, and occipital brain regions, with less robust coherence delta-standard deviation in the central region and bitemporal areas.
conclusionsOur findings describe a topography of ccortical autonomicc connectivity present at term in low-risk newborns, which was more robust to parasympathetic than sympathetic brainstem centers and was independent of newborn state.
