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

We assessed communication skills of 48 children without cerebral palsy (CP) treated with therapeutic hypothermia (TH) for neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) (cases) compared to 42 controls at early school-age and examined their association with white matter diffusion properties in both groups and 18-month Bayley-III developmental assessments in cases. Parents completed a Children's Communication Checklist (CCC-2) yielding a General Communication Composite (GCC), structural and pragmatic language scores and autistic-type behavior score. GCC ≤ 54 and thresholds of structural and pragmatic language score differences defined language impairment. Using tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS), fractional anisotropy (FA) was compared between 31 cases and 35 controls. Compared to controls, cases had lower GCC (p = 0.02), structural (p = 0.03) and pragmatic language score (p = 0.04) and higher language impairments (p = 0.03). GCC correlated with FA in the mid-body of the corpus callosum, the cingulum and the superior longitudinal fasciculus (p < 0.05) in cases. Bayley-III Language Composite correlated with GCC (r = 0.34, p = 0.017), structural (r = 0.34, p = 0.02) and pragmatic (r = 0.32, p = 0.03) language scores and autistic-type behaviors (r = 0.36, p = 0.01).
