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

The main goal of this study was to determine the associations between the quality of presentation of GM, motor development, and brain integrity as seen through magnetic resonance imaging.

methodsThis is an observational, descriptive, and association study; information derived from it was used to analyze associations between the following variables: Writhing Movements, Fidgety Movements, motor development, and brain integrity. With a confidence level of 95% and an estimation error of 5%, the sample was comprised of 60 children under 5 months old with any neurological risk criteria; these children were either hospitalized in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) or attending the Kangaroo Mother Care Program (KMCP) at the University Hospital of La Samaritana (UHS), Colombia. The data were analyzed using Fisher's exact test.

resultsOver 90% of children with Absent or Sporadic Fidgety Movements had either abnormal or suspicious motor development. We observed a trend of association between the absence of Fidget Movements and alterations in White Matter.

conclusionsQuality of presentation of General Movements is associated with motor development and alterations of brain tissue at an early age, primarily in the White Matter; it is important for early prediction of neurological risk in infants.
