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 Motor Optimality Score, revised (MOS-R) is an extension of the Prechtl General Movements Assessment. This study aims to determine the relationship between MOS-R and 2-year neurodevelopmental outcomes in a cohort of 169 infants born very preterm (<31 weeks’ gestational age), and to examine the predictive validity of the MOS-R at 3−4 months’ corrected age (CA) above perinatal variables associated with poor outcomes, including Prechtl fidgety movements. Development at 2 years’ CA was assessed using Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, Third edition (Bayley-III) (motor/cognitive impairment: Bayley-III ≤ 85) and Neurological, Sensory, Motor, Developmental Assessment (NSMDA) (neurosensory motor impairment: NSMDA ≥ 12). Cerebral palsy (CP) was classified at 2 years as definite or clinical. The MOS-R was related to 2-year outcomes: Bayley-III motor (BMOS-R = 1.24 95% confidence interval (0.78, 1.70)), cognitive (BMOS-R = 0.91 (0.48, 1.35)), NSMDA scores (BMOS-R = −0.34 (−0.42, −0.25)), definite CP (odds ratio [OR] 0.67 (0.53, 0.86)), clinical CP (OR 0.74 (0.66, 0.83)) for each 1-point increase in MOS-R. MOS-R ≤ 23 predicted motor (sensitivity 78% (60−91%); specificity 63% (54−72%)) and neurosensory motor impairment (sensitivity 86% (64−97%); specificity 59% (51−68%)). The MOS-R is strongly related to CP and motor and cognitive delay at 2 years and is a good predictor of motor and neurosensory motor impairment.
