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
backgroundIn clinical practice, it is crucial to identify diagnostic methods that can forecast the neurodevelopmental outcomes of very preterm neonates. Our study aimed to assess the predictive significance of amplitude-integrated electroencephalography (aEEG) for the neurodevelopmental outcomes of preterm infants at 12 months corrected age and to establish the cut-off score that could indicate potential neurodevelopmental impairments.
methodsPreterm neonates born before 32 weeks of gestational age between June 2020 and July 2022 were included in a prospective manner. Amplitude-integrated electroencephalography recordings were conducted at five age intervals (days 1-3; first, second, third and fourth weeks). Recordings were analyzed using the Burdjalov scoring system. The neurodevelopment assessment with Bayley Scales of Infant Development-Second Edition was carried out at 12 months corrected age.
resultsA total of 140 newborns were included in the study. Neurodevelopment was assessed in 108 infants at 12 months corrected age. Higher total aEEG Burdjalov scores were observed in groups with normal cognitive and motor development. The most sensitive and specific score for prediction of cognitive impairment in 12 months corrected age was an aEEG evaluation of 5.5 according to Burdjalov score within the first three days. The most sensitive and specific score for prediction of motor impairment was 8.5 within the first week.
conclusionsAccording to our research there is currently not enough data to accurately foresee the development of newborns at 12 months corrected age according to early aEEG test results. However, conducting a research with bigger sample size and repeated evaluations at a later age might increase the prognostic value of aEEG. In this study cut-off scores of aEEG performed early in life to predict later neurodevelopment outcomes were determined.
