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

rationaleWe report on a patient with injury of the cortico-ponto-cerebellar tract (CPCT) following mild traumatic brain injury (TBI), diagnosed by diffusion tensor tractography (DTT). PATIENT CONCERNS: A 53-year-old female patient was injured in a car crash. While under treatment at a local medical center for headache, mild motor weakness, and cognitive impairment that developed following the car crash, she fell, hitting her head on the ground, about six weeks after the car crash. DIAGNOSES: Approximately three months after the car crash, she began to show tremor on both hands and mild truncal ataxia. Twenty months after the car crash, when she underwent neurological evaluation at the rehabilitation department of a university hospital, she presented with mild resting and intentional tremor on both hands, and mild truncal ataxia.

interventionsN/A. OUTCOMES: On 20-month DTT, the left CPCT showed tearing at the level of the subcortical white matter and pons, and discontinuation at the cerebellar portion. However, the integrity of the DRTT was well-preserved in both hemispheres. LESSONS: Using DTT, injury of the CPCT was demonstrated in a patient with ataxia and tremor following mild TBI.
