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

impactCerebral/Cortical visual impairment (CVI) is a common sequela of perinatal neurological injury and is under-recognized in early life. There is no standardized approach to identifying risk for CVI for infants hospitalized in the NICU. In a local survey, NICU providers demonstrated recognition of CVI risk factors but variability in risk stratification, referral practices, and family communication strategies. A structured, risk-based clinical practice guideline may improve early recognition, standardize care, and support timely referral and intervention for high-risk infants.
