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

objectivesTo investigate the risk factors, clinical characteristics, and neurodevelopmental outcomes associated with perinatal stroke, as well as to assess the risk of epilepsy, seizure control, and cognitive function in children with perinatal stroke.

methodsData from 32 patients diagnosed with perinatal stroke between October 2007 and October 2020 were retrospectively reviewed.

resultsOf 32 patients, 27 were born after normal pregnancies, and 20 (62.5%) had consanguineous parents. Family histories of stroke, haematological disease, and epilepsy were noted in 3.13%, 3.13%, and 21.88%, respectively. Initial symptoms included hemiparesis (56.25%), seizures (37.5%), respiratory distress (3.13%), and tiptoe walking (3.13%). Epilepsy was diagnosed in 22 patients, with 72.72% achieving seizure control. Among 12 patients who underwent IQ testing, 15.63% had borderline impairment, 9.37% average IQ, 3.13% below-average IQ, and 6.26% moderate-to-severe impairment.

conclusionHemiparesis was the most frequent presenting symptom, followed by seizures. Many patients developed epilepsy, with most achieving satisfactory seizure control. IQ testing revealed varying degrees of cognitive impairment, highlighting the complex neurodevelopmental effects of perinatal stroke.
