Letter to the editor - quantitative serial t2 relaxometry and cerebral cysticercosis.
Article in The neuroradiology journal, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Sir, the report on "Quantitative serial T2 relaxometry and cerebral cysticercosis" is very interesting (1). Nalini et al. described possible values of quantitative serial T2 relaxometry and cerebral cysticercosis on serial MRI in patients with a solitary cerebral cysticercal lesion (1). This observation might imply a role for quantitative serial T2 relaxometry in cerebral cysticercosis. However, there are many considerations in this report. First, without a control group, it might not be possible to mention that the observed serial change is due to the response to the antiparasitic drug. Second, quantitative serial T2 relaxometry is not routinely used and available. Routinely, the follow-up of a case is simple neuroimaging with the need to use quantitative serial T2 relaxometry (2). The use of radiation-free MRI might be more appropriate for follow-up (3).
