Development of an Ultrasound Scoring System to Describe Brain Maturation in Preterm Infants.

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
background and purposeCerebral maturation in preterm infants predominantly occurs postnatally, necessitating the development of objective bedside markers to monitor this process. This study aimed to develop a straightforward objective Ultrasound Score of Brain Development to assess cortical development in preterm infants. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 344 serial ultrasound examinations from 94 preterm infants born at ≤ 32 weeks of gestation were analyzed to identify brain structures suitable for a scoring system.
resultsAmong 11 candidate structures, 3 cerebral landmarks were selected due to their correlation with gestational age: the interopercular opening (
conclusionsThe proposed Ultrasound Score of Brain Development has the potential for application as an objective indicator of brain maturation in correlation with gestational age, circumventing the need to rely on individual growth trajectories and percentiles for each specific structure.
