Effect of Hypothermia on Myocardial Depolarization and Repolarization in Neonates with Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy Due to Asphyxia.

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
Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) is effective for neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). The combination of abnormal myocardial repolarization and fatal arrhythmia in patients with accidental hypothermia has prompted clinical validation of the proarrhythmic potential of TH. However, to our knowledge, there have been few clinical studies on myocardial depolarization and repolarization abnormalities caused by TH in neonates. Therefore, we investigated the effects of TH on neonatal myocardial depolarization and repolarization by capturing the waveform changes in electrocardiograms (ECGs) associated with body temperature (BT) before and after TH. We included three neonates with HIE diagnosed at birth who were treated with TH in our hospital. The heart rate, RR interval, P wave duration, PR interval, QRS duration, QT interval, corrected QT (QTc) interval by Fridericia's formula, J point-T end (JT) interval, corrected JT (JTc) interval by Fridericia's formula, T peak-T end (Tpe) interval, Tpe/QT, and QRS/QTc were calculated retrospectively using an ECG. The correlations of ECG parameters recorded concurrently with 33 samples in which BT measurements were confirmed were performed. BT and heart rate were positively correlated (R: 0.589, p = 0.0003). BT was negatively correlated with Tpe/QT (R: - 0.470, p = 0.0058), the QTc interval (R: - 0.680, p < 0.0001), and the corrected JT interval (R: - 0.697, p < 0.0001). TH does not affect atrial or ventricular depolarization but prolongs the ventricular repolarization process in a temperature-dependent manner.
