Electroencephalography monitoring in the neonatal intensive care unit: a Chinese perspective.
Article in Translational pediatrics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundElectroencephalography (EEG) is an accessible technique for bedside monitoring of the cerebral function in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). The popularization of EEG in the field of newborns in China is relatively late compared with western countries. To learn more about current practices and improvement of EEG monitoring, we conducted a survey to describe current utilization of EEG in NICU in China.
methodsA cross-sectional electronic survey with 21-items about EEG using in NICU was administered for pediatricians in China on the official website of "Questionnaire Star".
resultsA total of 251 participants were involved, in which 64% of them reported using EEG. EEG was employed in NICUs of Children's hospitals (97%), and grade III, class A hospitals (69%). Besides, neonatal encephalopathy and suspected seizures were the most common indications for use. In clinical practice, the vast majority of physicians managed their patients on the basis of EEG (93%). Pediatricians prefer to use conventional video-EEG (cEEG) to detect seizures and make the diagnosis of encephalopathy. Both amplitude integrated EEG (aEEG) (78%) and cEEG (56%) were mainly interpreted by neonatologists. However, only 56% of respondents had ever taken a formal EEG training course. Overall, 96% of the respondents reported that they would be interested in attending an education session on EEG in the NICU. aEEG interpretation was the most interesting part to learn (81%). For those who were not using EEG, cost (43%) and difficulty interpretation (30%) were reported as barriers to use.
conclusionsThe utilization rate of EEG in NICU in China is significantly lower than the international level. There is an urgent need for standardized training and financial support for neonatologists in the use of EEG and interpretation of aEEG results.
