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

backgroundHypertrophic olivary degeneration (HOD) is a rare transsynaptic form of degeneration occurring after injury to the dentato-rubro-olivary pathway ("Guillain-Mollaret triangle"). The majority of studies have described HOD resulting from posterior fossa (PF) hemorrhage or infarction. HOD in patients undergoing PF surgery has not been well characterized. These lesions are rare and symptomatic children with HOD are even more uncommon. The purpose of this study was to evaluate HOD that develops after PF operations in children. MATERIALS AND

methodsA literature review was carried out describing 37 pediatric cases of HOD in 13 articles. In addition, two new cases of our own experience were included.

conclusionsHOD is a rare complication related after PF tumors surgery and symptoms may be misdiagnosed with pediatric cerebellar mutism syndrome. Children with HOD usually do not develop palatal tremor but ataxia is common.
