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 investigate the interaction between specialized motor networks and higher associative brain networks for motor performance in adolescents exposed to neonatal hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE).

methodIn this prospective, population-based cohort study of children (n = 66) with neonatal HIE treated with therapeutic hypothermia, follow-up was performed at age 10 to 12 years with resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging and assessment of motor performance with the Movement Assessment Battery for Children, Second Edition (MABC-2). Brain-behaviour analysis was performed using statistical enrichment analysis and was compared to a control group (n = 43) using the McNemar test.

resultsThe final analysis included 35 children in the cohort with HIE (mean [SD] age at magnetic resonance imaging = 11 years 2 months [9 months]) and 21 children in the control cohort (10 years 2 months [8 months]). Motor performance (assessed with the MABC-2 total score and all subdomains) was reduced in the cohort with HIE compared to the controls and was significantly associated with several clusters of brain network connections. A significant group difference was found in the MABC-2 aiming and catching subdomain, which correlated with clusters of functional connectivity between the somatomotor and default mode networks in the cohort with HIE.

interpretationMotor impairment after therapeutic hypothermia-treated neonatal HIE is connected to alternative neural processing between motor and cognitive networks.
