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

introductionExperimental animal models are essential for investigation of the pathoembryogenesis, pathophysiology, and management strategy of spinal open neural tube defect (ONTD) and its associated anomalies including Chiari type II malformation. Genetic, chemical/nutrient, and surgical models have been widely used for a variety of purposes. The aim of this article is to review the representative animal models of spinal ONTD and associated Chiari type II malformation with respect to their advantages and disadvantages. DISCUSSION: Among them, the surgical model was described in detail because it is familiar to neurosurgeons and it is used for evaluations of prenatal repair of spinal ONTDs. The surgical model also has advantages because it allows quantitative analysis of the lesions. A description of our previous studies on spinal ONTDs using a chick surgical model is presented as an example.
