The influence of late prematurity on the encephalopathy exam of infants with neonatal encephalopathy.
Article in Journal of neonatal-perinatal medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundLate preterm (LPT) infants are increasingly treated for hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). However, neurodevelopmental differences of LPT infants may independently influence the neurologic exam and confound care.
methodsPerinatal and outcome characteristics were extracted along with the worst autonomic and state/neuromuscular/reflex Sarnat components in a cross-section of infants with moderate/severe HIE. Infants were classified as late preterm (LPT, 34-36 weeks) or term (>36 weeks).
results250 infants were identified, 55 were late preterm. LPT infants had lower mean gestational age and birthweight and greater length of stay (LOS). LPT infants had higher median scores for the Moro and respiratory autonomic components, but no difference in total score.
conclusionsLPT infants had increased LOS, worse Moro reflex, and respiratory status, but no clinically or statistically significant differences in total Sarnat scores. Although it is important to note the impact of immaturity on the exam, it is unlikely to independently alter management.
