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

background and purposeMR susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) is a highly sensitive technique for detection of hemorrhage, but its utility in the evaluation of children with laminar necrosis is not yet known. We assessed whether cortical laminar necrosis in pediatric patients contains hemorrhage on SWI. MATERIALS AND

methods"Cortical laminar necrosis" was defined as a hyperintense cortical lesion on T1-weighted imaging in the subacute or chronic phase of brain damage in some foci involving the cerebral cortex and white matter such as hypoxic-ischemic incidents and encephalopathy. Medical records, CT, and MR images were retrospectively analyzed. Fifteen patients (7 boys, 8 girls; age range, 0-13 years) were included. The areas of signal-intensity loss on SWI that were considered to be hemorrhage were correlated with the laminar necrosis. CT was assessed to correlate with the presence of calcification at the location of the signal-intensity loss on SWI. To assess appearance or signal-intensity changes of hemorrhage in the laminar necrosis, follow-up SWI was performed.

resultsThe causes of laminar necrosis included infarction in 4 patients, ischemic changes from Moyamoya disease in 2, meningoencephalitis in 2, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy in 2, shaken baby syndrome in 1, encephalopathy from severe infection in 1, status epilepticus in 1, citrullinemia in 1, and brain injury with posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome in 1. T1-weighted imaging showed focal laminar necrosis in 8, multifocal laminar necrosis in 2, and diffuse laminar necrosis in 5. SWI findings correlated with laminar necrosis included the following: no hemorrhage in 13 patients (80.0%), dotted hemorrhage in 2 (13.3%), and laminar hemorrhage in 1 (6.7%). Follow-up SWI performed in 6 patients showed no additional hemorrhage.

conclusionMost areas of cortical laminar necrosis in pediatric patients showed no hemorrhage on SWI.
