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

MRI is not only beneficial in the diagnosis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-related diseases, but also aids in planning the management and post-surgery follow-up of the patients. With recent advances in MRI systems, there are many newly developed sequences and techniques that rapidly enable evaluation of CSF-related disorders with greater accuracy. For a better assessment of this group of disorders, radiologists should follow the developments closely and should be able to apply them when necessary. In this pictorial review, the role of MRI in the evaluation of hydrocephalus, CSF diversion techniques, and other CSF disorders is illustrated. Teaching Points • The 3D-SPACE seems to be most efficient technique for evaluation of hydrocephalus and ventriculostomy. • In complex cases, PC-MRI, 3D-heavily T2W, and/or CE-MRC images may prevent false results of 3D-SPACE.• MRI is beneficial in the diagnosis and management of hydrocephalus and other CSF-related diseases.
