Value of cranial ultrasound at initiation of therapeutic hypothermia for neonatal encephalopathy.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveThere is variation in the clinical practice for the use of cranial ultrasound (cUS) at the time of initiation of therapeutic hypothermia (TH) for neonatal encephalopathy. The role of cUS in selecting patients who may benefit from TH or excluding those where TH may impose risk is unknown. STUDY
designA retrospective study was conducted on infants who received TH at a single tertiary center. Findings from cUS at initiation of TH were compared to findings from MRI following the completion of TH.
resultsOne hundred and eight infants were studied. Of the 55 with abnormalities on early cUS, 50 did not have corresponding MRI abnormalities. In contrast, 16 infants had some degree of intracranial hemorrhage detected on their MRI that was not noted on earlier cUS.
conclusionsThis study challenges whether cUS is an essential universal screening tool prior to the commencement of TH.
