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

Background The characteristics of amplitude-integrated electroencephalography (aEEG) are associated with neurological outcomes in neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). We perform a longitudinal analysis of continuous monitoring of aEEG during therapeutic hypothermia and explore the association between aEEG interpretation and clinical neurological outcomes. Method We conducted a prospective cohort study on HIE neonates undergoing hypothermia with aEEG monitoring. Results A total of 37 HIE infants underwent hypothermia with improved aEEG background activity in 28 (75.7%) neonates, of which 18 (48.6%) neonates had background activity returned to a continuous pattern, and the median recovery time was 26.5 hours. Sleep-wake cycle (SWC) appeared in 14 (37.8%) cases, with a median onset time of 34.5 hours. Seizure activity on aEEG was present in 26 (70.3%) infants. Factors associated with poor outcomes at discharge included low voltage or flat trace background activity, a lack of improvement in background activity after hypothermia, and the absence of SWC. Neonates who took longer than 62 hours to return to continuous background activity (time to normal trace) or did not have SWC before the end of hypothermia were more likely to have unfavorable outcomes at discharge. Conclusions Longitudinal analysis of aEEG during hypothermia should be implemented in neonatal care units. The progression of these features on aEEG may predict neurological outcomes for HIE neonates.
