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.
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 evaluate the relationship between amplitude-integrated electroencephalography (aEEG), general movement assessment (GMA) and later motor outcome in preterm infants.
methodsThis retrospective study analysed data from 274 very preterm infants born at Innsbruck Medical University Hospital. aEEG was performed within 72 h of birth and weekly for the first month. GMA was conducted at 34, 40 and 52 weeks postmenstrual age. Motor outcome was assessed at 2 years. Statistical analyses included comparative tests, multivariate logistic regression and ROC curves.
resultsSignificant differences in aEEG scores were observed between infants with normal and abnormal GMs. After adjusting for neonatal characteristics, only day 1 aEEG remained significantly associated with general movements (GMs) at term and post-term. At 2 years, psychomotor outcome was significantly delayed in infants with abnormal GMA at term and post-term.
conclusionsThis study underscores the importance of integrating aEEG and GMA in preterm infants. Our findings should be interpreted as a proof-of-concept, illustrating the feasibility of integrating aEEG with GMA for a comprehensive evaluation of early neurodevelopment. Future research should investigate potential synergistic effects of diagnostic tools to identify infants at risk for neurological injury and developmental delay with the aim to assess the effect of early interventions.
