## In plain language

First author of the 2005 report of a trial of whole-body cooling for newborns with brain injury after birth asphyxia and a principal investigator named on its trial registry record.

## Technical summary

ClinicalTrials.gov lists Seetha Shankaran, MD, as principal investigator, with the affiliation Wayne State University (record last updated 2019-03-22). The affiliation is dated by that record; no organisation record for it exists in this atlas, so none is linked.
