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

objectivesLittle is known about the pathophysiological mechanisms of cognitive impairment in patients with putaminal hemorrhage (PH). Using diffusion tensor tractography, we investigated injury of the cingulum in patients with PH.

methodsWe recruited 63 patients with PH, who were classified according to three groups, based on integrity of the cingulum to the lower portion of the genu of the corpus callosum: group A; preserved integrity, group B; discontinuation of integrity in the affected hemisphere, and group C; discontinuation of integrity in both hemispheres.

resultsThirty four patients (54.0%) belonged to group A, 16 patients (25.4%) to group B, and the remaining 13 patients (20.6%) to group C. Regarding the Mini-Mental State Examination, significant differences were observed between group A and group C, and between group B and group C without significant difference between group A and group B (p < 0.05). In terms of the volume of hematoma, significant differences were observed among the three groups (p < 0.05). Regarding the most anterior point of the hematoma, significant differences were observed between group A and groups B and C (p < 0.05); in contrast, regarding the most point of hematoma, significant differences were observed between group C and groups A and B, respectively (p < 0.05).

conclusionWe found that the anterior cingulum is vulnerable to PH. Therefore, our results suggest the necessity for evaluation of the cingulum in patients with PH particularly if the hematoma is large or close to the anterior margin or midline of the brain.
