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/

objectivesHypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), affecting 1.3-1.7/1000 live births, is treated with conventional therapeutic hypothermia (TH) but carries significant mortality and neurological impairment. Here, we compared intravascular cooling with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and conventional TH in neonates with moderate to severe HIE.

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed single-center neonates born in 2000-2022. Neonates with a 10 min Apgar score ≤ 3 or umbilical artery pH ≤ 6.7, along with persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn and an oxygenation index of ≥25 to <40, were divided into ECMO (

resultsNeonatal and maternal characteristics were similar between the groups. A significantly higher proportion of the ECMO group (70.6% vs. 33.3%) achieved a developmental quotient ≥ 70.

conclusionsIntravascular cooling with ECMO may improve the neurodevelopmental outcomes of neonates with HIE, severe acidosis, and low Apgar scores.
