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

backgroundNeonatal encephalopathy (NE) is a major cause of mortality and severe neurological disability in the neonatal period and beyond. We hypothesized that the degree of brain injury is reflected in the molecular composition of peripheral blood samples.

methodsA sub-cohort of 28 newborns included in the HYPOTOP trial was studied. Brain injury was assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) once per patient and neurodevelopment at 24 months of age was evaluated using the Bayley III Scales of Infant and Toddler Development. The nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) profile of 60 plasma samples collected before, during, and after cooling was recorded.

resultsIn total, 249 molecular features were quantitated in plasma samples from newborns and postnatal age showed to affect detected NMR profiles. Lactate, beta-hydroxybutyrate, pyruvate, and three triglyceride biomarkers showed the ability to discern between different degrees of brain injury according to MRI scores. The prediction performance of lactate was superior as compared to other clinical and biochemical parameters.

conclusionsThis is the first longitudinal study of an ample compound panel recorded by NMR spectroscopy in plasma from NE infants. The serial determination of lactate confirms its solid position as reliable candidate biomarker for predicting the severity of brain injury. IMPACT: The use of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy enables the simultaneous quantitation of 249 compounds in a small volume (i.e., 100 μL) of plasma. Longitudinal perturbations of plasma NMR profiles were linked to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) outcomes of infants with neonatal encephalopathy (NE). Lactate, beta-hydroxybutyrate, pyruvate, and three triglyceride biomarkers showed the ability to discern between different degrees of brain injury according to MRI scores. Lactate is a minimally invasive candidate biomarker for early staging of MRI brain injury in NE infants that might be readily implemented in clinical guidelines for NE outcome prediction.
