Intraventricular hemorrhage in term infants: a single institutional experience between 2016 and 2020.

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
purposeIntraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) of prematurity is a known complication of preterm birth. Intraventricular hemorrhage in term infants is much less commonly encountered. To address the lack of information in the current literature concerning this demographic, we offer demographic and image findings that demonstrate etiology and predict the need for permanent cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) diversion.
methodsA prospectively maintained database was queried for all patients with intraventricular hemorrhage from 2016 to 2020 treated at our institution. Demographic data and etiology were collected, along with need for and timing of surgical intervention.
resultsA total of 150 IVH patients were identified. Of these patients, 138 were excluded due to prematurity. Twelve patients were born at term with IVH. All patients were followed for at least 8 months. Seven patients (58.3%) underwent ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt placement, performed between 4 days and 4 months of age. Superficial siderosis detected by MRI during in-patient stay or follow-up showed a sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 60% for the future development of post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus (PHH) (p < 0.05). All full-term infants who developed PHH (n = 7, 58.3%) obtained a VP shunt.
conclusionIVH in term infants occurs infrequently when compared to IVH of prematurity. Etiology of IVH in term infants remains difficult to ascertain, but the majority of patients did demonstrate risk factors. The presence of superficial siderosis on MRI significantly predicted the development of PHH and eventual need for CSF diversion.
