Standardizing early cerebral palsy detection in high-risk infants: reducing age at diagnosis through a quality improvement initiative.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveTo screen high-risk infants for CP in a level IV NICU and high-risk infant follow-up (HRIF) clinic. STUDY
designBy using quality improvement methodology, we implemented the General Movement Assessment (GMA) and Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination (HINE) to screen for CP and lower age at diagnosis. Main balancing measures included no-show rates.
resultsWithin the first year, 89% of infants had a GMA in the NICU, 100% in HRIF and 87% had a HINE in HRIF. Median age at diagnosis decreased from 18.5 months adjusted [16.7,19.4] in 2021 to 7.5 months [5.9,14.4; p = 0.01] in 2022 and 8.9 months [6.6,12.2; p = 0.01] in 2023. No-show rates increased in 2022 compared to 2021 (24% vs 17%, p = 0.02).
conclusionsBy implementing and continuously improving a standard process in the NICU and HRIF, we demonstrated a successful increase in screening for CP leading to a lower age at diagnosis sustained for two years.
