Neurodevelopmental forecasting in preterms: aEEG at 32 weeks vs. MRI at term in predicting 2-year outcomes.
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 evaluate the predictive accuracy of amplitude-integrated EEG (aEEG) at 32 weeks corrected age versus brain MRI at term-equivalent age in forecasting neurodevelopmental outcomes in very preterm infants. STUDY
designIn this prospective cohort study, 71 infants born before 30 weeks' gestation underwent aEEG at 32 weeks and MRI at term-equivalent age. Neurodevelopmental outcomes were assessed using the Bayley-III at 12 and 24 months, and performance compared through LASSO regression models and ROC analysis.
resultsBurdjalov aEEG and MRI scores were both significantly associated with Bayley-III outcomes. At 12 months, AUCs were 0.93 for aEEG and 0.96 for MRI. At 24 months, AUCs declined but MRI remained superior (0.92 vs. 0.78). The combined model showed the highest accuracy.
conclusionaEEG at 32 weeks provides a valuable early indicator of neurodevelopmental outcomes, delivering clinically actionable information weeks before MRI and enabling timely interventions to support brain development in preterm infants.
