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

Hypertrophic olivary degeneration (HOD) is caused by disruptive lesions affecting components of the Guillain-Mollaret triangle (GMT). We present conventional magnetic resonance and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) findings in a 6-year-old girl with HOD after surgery for a midbrain pilocytic astrocytoma. To our knowledge, this is the first dedicated DTI analysis of GMT in a child with HOD in the literature. In our patient, we found higher fractional anisotropy (FA) and axial diffusivity values of the inferior olivary nucleus (ION) and lower FA, but higher radial diffusivity (RD) values of all other GMT components compared to age-matched controls. Increased FA values of the ION may be explained by increased packing of white matter fibers. However, associated hyperintense T2 signal is contradictory and the association between increased FA values and hyperintense T2 signal remains unclear. Low FA and high RD values of the other GMT components likely reflect demyelination with axonal degeneration and correlate well with histopathological findings.
