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

Objectives: The study objective was to calculate the birth prevalence of perinatal stroke and examine risk factors in term infants. Some risk factors are present in healthy infants, making it difficult to determine at-risk infants. Study Design: Prospective population-based perinatal stroke data were compared to the Australian general population data using chi-squared and Fisher's exact tests and multivariable logistic regression analysis. Results: Sixty perinatal stroke cases were reported between 2017 and 2019. Estimated stroke prevalence was 9.6/100,000 live births/year including 5.8 for neonatal arterial ischemic stroke and 2.9 for neonatal hemorrhagic stroke. Eighty seven percent had multiple risk factors. Significant risk factors were cesarean section ( Conclusions: Statistically significant independent risk factors do not fully explain the cause of perinatal stroke, because they are not a direct causal pathway to stroke. These data now require validation in a case-control study.
