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

Objective: To develop deep learning (DL) models applied to neonatal cranial ultrasound (CUS) and clinical variables to predict neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI) in very preterm infants (VPIs) at 3 years of corrected age. Patients and Methods: This is a retrospective study of a cohort of VPI (22 Results: Of 665 eligible VPIs, 619 (93%) infants with 4184 CUS images were included. The CNN model combining CUS and clinical variables reported better performance (PR-AUC, 0.75; 95% CI, 072-0.79; ROC-AUC, 0.71; 95% CI, 0.67-0.74) in the prediction of positive NDI outcome compared with the traditional models based solely on clinical predictors (PR-AUC, 0.60; 95% CI, 0.52-0.68; ROC-AUC, 0.72; 95% CI, 0.68-0.75). When analyzed by the CUS plane and acquisition time point, the model using the anterior coronal plane at 6 weeks of age provided the highest predictive accuracy (PR-AUC, 0.81; 95% CI, 0.77-0.91; ROC-AUC, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.66-0.87). Conclusion: We developed and internally validated a DL prognostic model using CUS and clinical predictors to predict NDI in VPIs at 3 years of age. Early and accurate identification of infants at risk for NDI enables referral to targeted interventions, which improves functional outcomes.
