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

objectivesTo study the correlation of fractional anisotropy (FA) on magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging with Neonatal Behavioral Neurological Assessment (NBNA) score in preterm infants, and to study the role of FA in evaluating white matter development from the perspective of imaging.

methodsA prospective study was performed for 98 preterm infants who were admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University within 24 hours after birth from October 2016 to January 2020. According to the results of NBNA, they were divided into an abnormal group with 51 infants (NBNA score <37) and a normal group with 47 infants (NBNA score ≥37). The FA values of 10 regions of interest were collected and compared between the two groups. The correlations of FA value and umbilical arterial blood gas pH value with the NBNA score were analyzed.

resultsCompared with the normal group, the abnormal group had significantly lower FA value of the posterior limb of the internal capsule and umbilical arterial blood pH (

conclusionsThe FA value of the posterior limb of the internal capsule can quantitatively reflect white matter development in preterm infants and is correlated with the NBNA score. The combination of the two indices can help to evaluate white matter development in preterm infants more accurately and objectively.
