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
backgroundThis study aimed to investigate the diagnostic potential of serum high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) in neonatal encephalopathy (NE).
methodsA retrospective study was conducted, analyzing 216 neonates diagnosed with NE. The neonates were divided into two groups based on their outcomes at 28 days. Serum HMGB1 levels were compared between the two groups. ROC analysis was used to determine the predictive value of HMGB1.
resultsAt 28 days, 174 infants had a good prognosis, while 42 had a poor prognosis. Infants with a poor prognosis had higher serum HMGB1 concentrations within 24 h of birth. Multifactorial analysis revealed that extremely preterm birth, extremely low birth weight, an Apgar score of 0-3 at 5 min, premature rupture of membranes by the mother, moderate to severe NE, and serum HMGB1 > 6.14 ng/mL are independent risk factors for poor prognosis. HMGB1 has predictive value for short-term prognosis with an area under the curve of 0.79. Elevated HMGB1 levels in the acute phase of NE are associated with poor short-term neonatal outcomes. The decrease in HMGB1 concentrations over time correlates with a good prognosis; whereas an increase suggests a poor prognosis.
conclusionEarly measurement of serum HMGB1 could aid in the prognostic assessment of neonates with NE. IMPACT STATEMENT: Although serum HMGB1 has emerged as a potential predictor of neonatal outcomes in neonatal encephalopathy, the relationship of HMGB1 levels to neonatal encephalopathy severity remains unclear. The current results demonstrate that infants with a poor prognosis had higher serum HMGB1 concentrations within 24 h of birth. Importantly, elevated serum HMGB1 levels in the acute phase of neonatal encephalopathy are associated with poor short-term neonatal outcomes. Our findings reveal the clinical values of HMGB1 in the prediction of neonatal outcomes in NE patients.
