The cerebellum in children with spina bifida and Chiari II malformation: Quantitative volumetrics by region.
Article in Cerebellum (London, England), 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers.
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
Few volumetric MRI studies of the entire cerebellum have been published; even less quantitative information is available in patients with hindbrain malformations, including the Chiari II malformation which is ubiquitous in patients with spina bifida meningomyelocele (SBM). In the present study, regional volumetric analyses of the cerebellum were conducted in children with SBM/Chiari II and typically developing (TD) children. Total cerebellar volume was significantly reduced in the SBM group relative to the TD group. After correcting for total cerebellum volume, and relative to the TD group, the posterior lobe was significantly reduced in SBM, the corpus medullare was not different, and the anterior lobe was significantly enlarged. Children with thoracic level lesions had smaller cerebellar volumes relative to those with lumbar/sacral lesions, who had smaller volumes compared to TD children. The reduction in cerebellar volume in the group with SBM represents not a change in linear scaling but rather a reconfiguration involving anterior lobe enlargement and posterior lobe reduction.
