Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Neonatal Brain: Modalities, Scoring Systems, and Clinical Applications.
Review in Bioengineering (Basel, Switzerland), 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
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become the gold standard for evaluating brain injury and development in newborn infants, providing structural, metabolic, and functional information without ionizing radiation. This review comprehensively examines the principal MRI modalities used in current neonatal neuroimaging for a novice/intermediate-level reader-including conventional T1- and T2-weighted imaging, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) with apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) mapping, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI), volumetric analysis, arterial spin labeling (ASL), and functional connectivity MRI-with particular attention to their applications in preterm and term populations. Additionally, validated MRI scoring systems for quantifying brain injury severity and predicting neurodevelopmental outcomes are reviewed and summarized. Understanding the technical principles, clinical applications, and limitations of these modalities is essential for optimal interpretation of neonatal brain MRI, and for advancing prognostication and therapeutic decision-making in this vulnerable population.
