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

Objective: To evaluate the impact of chorioamnionitis on the incidence of intraventricular hemorrhage in preterm neonates and to assess its impact on neurodevelopmental outcomes at 24 months of age. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of all neonates <32 weeks' gestational age born to mothers with and without histological chorioamnionitis. At 24 months of age, we evaluated long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes with the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) and the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M-CHAT). Results: Among 91 neonates with a mean gestational age of 29.1(±2.2) weeks, 54% (49 newborns) were exposed to chorioamnionitis during pregnancy. Neonates born to mothers with chorioamnionitis were of significantly lower gestational age (28.0 ± 2.3 vs. 30.2 ± 1.3 weeks, Conclusion: Very preterm neonates born to mothers with chorioamnionitis are at increased risk of severe intraventricular hemorrhage, retinopathy of prematurity, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and an increased risk of abnormal M-CHAT at 24 months of age.
