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 and purposeNeonatal encephalopathy (NE) is a neurological syndrome that presents with severe neurological impairments and complications. Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy is a major contributor to poor outcomes, being responsible for 50%-80% of admissions to neonatal intensive care units. However, some cases of NE accompanied by hypoxic brain damage cannot be solely attributed to hypoxia-ischemia. We aimed to identify diverse pathogenic genetic variations that may be associated with cases of NE accompanied by hypoxic brain damage rather than hypoxia-ischemia.

methodsWe collected data from 34 patients diagnosed with NE accompanied by hypoxic brain damage over a 10-year period. Patients with the following specific conditions were excluded: 1) premature birth (<32 weeks), 2) no history of hypoxic events, 3) related anomalies, 4) neonatal infections, 5) antenatal or perinatal obstetrical complications, 6) severe hypoxia due to other medical conditions, and 7) early death (within 1 week). A comprehensive review of clinical and radiological features was conducted.

resultsA genetic diagnosis was made in 11 (32.4%) patients, with pathogenic variants being identified in the following 9 genes:

conclusionsGenetic analyses may help in diagnosing the underlying etiology of NE and concurrent hypoxic brain damage, irrespective of the initial clinical features.
