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

aimTo assess the neurological and neurodevelopmental outcome of infants born at term with perinatal intracranial haemorrhage (pICH) and examine the clinical and neuroimaging associations.

methodA prospective, consecutive, single-center observational study of longitudinally followed children with pICH identified in the fetal or neonatal period (≤28 days of life) between January 2014 and November 2022. Neurodevelopmental outcome was rated using the Pediatric Stroke Outcome Measure (PSOM) and the modified Rankin Scale (mRS).

resultsSixty-eight infants were included (67.6% diagnosed postnatally and 32.4% diagnosed antenatally). Intraventricular haemorrhage was the most common bleeding type (n = 43, 63.2%) and was more common in infants diagnosed prenatally (p = 0.004). Twenty-nine (42.6%) infants were diagnosed with cerebral palsy and 19.1% with remote epilepsy. PSOM was performed at a median age of 3 years 8 months (range = 1 year-9 years 5 months). According to the PSOM, outcome was normal in 29 (42.6%) infants. Twelve (17.6%) patients had mild impairment, 11 (16.2%) had moderate impairment, and 16 (23.5%) had severe impairment. There was no difference in neurological outcomes between patients diagnosed antenatally or postnatally. Remote epilepsy (p = 0.002), multi-compartment ICH (p = 0.048), vermian hemorrhage (p = 0.048), posthaemorrhagic ventricular dilatation (p = 0.037), thalamic volume loss (p = 0.037), white matter loss (p = 0.048), Wallerian degeneration (p = 0.026), and abnormal myelination in the posterior limb of the internal capsule (p = 0.005), were associated with less favourable PSOM scores. Anterior horn width correlated with PSOM total scores (r = 0.6).

interpretationpICH carries a significant risk of long-term adverse neurological outcomes with no difference in neurological outcome between those diagnosed antenatally or postnatally. Epilepsy and neuroradiological markers are associated with unfavourable neurodevelopmental outcomes.
