Retrospective observational study of first-year developmental outcomes following congenital microcephaly.
Observational study 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. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveDetermine the association between persistent versus resolved microcephaly and motor developmental outcomes in infants with congenital microcephaly. STUDY
designBayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development
resultsSeventy-eight infants had head circumference measurements and Bayley motor composite scores at both visit 1 and visit 2. Infants with persistent microcephaly at 4-6 months had mean motor scores 12.07 (95% CI [-22.94, -1.19], p = 0.02) points lower than peers with resolved microcephaly. By 9-12 months, these differences were no longer significant.
conclusionPersistent microcephaly was associated with lower motor development scores at 4-6 months compared to children with resolved microcephaly. This simple, anthropometric measurement may be useful in predicting early motor development.
