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: Artificial intelligence (AI) has advanced neonatal pain recognition, yet a significant gap persists in translating complex algorithms into practical clinical applications. Low-code AI development platforms, which simplify and automate model creation, offer a potential solution to bridge this gap between research and bedside practice. Objective: This study aimed to explore the feasibility of constructing and validating a neonatal multimodal pain classification model using a commercial low-code AI development platform (EasyDL). The objective was to develop an accessible, cost-effective, and efficient method that empowers clinical professionals to create their own AI tools without extensive programming expertise. Methods: We uploaded 426 neonatal acute pain multimodal data segments to the EasyDL platform and trained a video classification model using its AutoML capabilities. The model underwent internal testing on a held-out dataset portion, followed by external validation on an independent prospective cohort. For external validation, we compared model performance against the N-PASS (Neonatal Pain, Agitation, and Sedation Scale) scores assessed by a senior nurse as the clinical gold standard. Results: The neonatal multimodal pain classification model developed on the platform showed strong performance. Internal validation achieved 89.6% accuracy and an 85.8% F1 score. External validation on unseen data reached 87.7% accuracy, with AUC exceeding 0.95 across all pain categories (no pain, mild pain, severe pain). The streamlined development process enabled seamless API deployment to an Android mobile device for clinical use. Conclusion: Developing a neonatal multimodal pain classification model using a low-code AI platform proves both feasible and effective. The model demonstrates robust performance and strong clinical integration potential. This approach offers a practical pathway to democratize AI development, enabling healthcare professionals to create digital solutions for neonatal pain management.
