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
Audiovisual integration (AVI) is linked to the development of several cognitive abilities, rendering it a vehicle to better understand and anticipate a wide range of sequelae associated with preterm (PT) birth. In the present study, we aimed to complement the scarce literature on PT birth and AVI early in life, by investigating neonatal brain networks encompassing areas reported in the infant AVI literature. We used data from the Developing Human Connectome Project (http://www.developingconnectome.org/) to build two localized and one whole-brain connectomes from functional and structural connectivity data. Using graph analysis on a multiplex structural-functional brain network, we investigated the association between prematurity and (1) the edges present in functional and structural networks, (2) the integration and segregation properties of functional and structural networks, and (3) the inter-layer assortativity. We found substantial differences between PT and full-term (FT) neonates in the edges of the structural network at the whole-brain level and in one localized connectome. Across parcellation schemes, associations between prematurity and network efficiency were different, but similar inter-layer metrics were observed. In an exploratory analysis, we further showed lower functional connectivity strength in PT neonates. These findings are discussed in the light of perinatal brain developmental trajectories and deepen our understanding atypical AVI abilities in PT infants. More generally, the present work contributes to our understanding of whole-brain network development by investigating functional-structural coupling from a network neuroscience perspective.
