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

Magnetic resonance imaging is currently used in the neonatal setting for assessing features of the neonatal brain. However, its utilization is constrained by logistic, technical, or clinical challenges. Brain elastography is a new research technique which enhances the diagnostic capability of traditional imaging, and can be paired with both ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging. In particular, brain elastography adds objective and quantitative information to traditional imaging by detecting differences in tissue elasticity/stiffness, which may represent a surrogate marker of the physiologic and pathologic features of the neonatal brain. To date, very limited experience exists about the use of brain elastography specifically in the neonatal setting. The aim of the present review was to describe the most recent information about the feasibility and diagnostic accuracy of brain ultrasound elastography (USE) in neonates, and to provide information about the possible future applications and perspectives of brain elastography.
