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

To explore the brainstem injury associated with supratentorial lesions, we conducted analysis of ICP levels and detected ENG parameters by using the cold caloric reflex test and histopathological examinations of the brainstem. Rat model of intracerebral hemorrhage was well-established in the study of supratentorial lesions of varying severities (n=210). Intracerebral pressure monitoring and electronystagmography of the cold caloric reflex test were simultaneously performed in animals. Apoptotic, immunohistochemical, and histopathological changes in different segments of the brainstem were investigated at various time intervals. Electronystagmography parameters were analyzed by cold caloric reflex test. The result showed that the increase of intracerebral pressure was correlated with lesion severity including elevating levels and rostral-caudal progression of neuronal apoptosis, demyelination, N-methyl-D-aspartate cell receptor down-regulation (r=0.815), and histopathological changes. Mutiple discrimination analysis of electronystagmography parameters presented a diagnostic accuracy rate of 79.5% in localizing brainstem injury. In conclusion, our data demonstrated that electronystagmography monitoring along with the cold caloric reflex test performed a favorable effect on the estimation of brainstem injury in ICH rat model, which provided a potential bedside diagnostic tool to assess and predict the progress of supratentorial lesion patient in future.
