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 who developed allocentric neglect due to injury of the inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus (IFOF) following intracranial hemorrhage, diagnosed using diffusion tensor tractography (DTT). PATIENT CONCERNS: Her cognition seemed normal (A 17-year-old, right-handed female patient). However, in spite of a normal visual field, her perception was missing on the left side, and she had no awareness of her deficit. She was unable to perceive the left side in each of 2 objects, regardless of position of the 2 objects, and failed at detail exploration of the left side of 1 object. In addition, the line bisection test, the most representative neglect test, did not reveal any abnormality. DIAGNOSES: She was diagnosed with an intracerebral hemorrhage (right thalamus), intraventricular hemorrhage, and subarachnoid hemorrhage due to arteriovenous malformation in the right thalamus.

interventionsSeven weeks after onset, she began rehabilitation. Consequently, the apple cancellation test to discriminate between allocentric and egocentric neglect was performed, with the result of severe allocentric neglect. OUTCOMES: The right superior longitudinal fasciculus and inferior longitudinal fasciculus were well-reconstructed without definite injury compared with those of the left side. However, the right IFOF was discontinued in the anterior portion around the frontal lobe. LESSONS: Allocentric neglect due to injury of IFOF was demonstrated in a stroke patient using DTT. It appears that DTT would be helpful in demonstrating the neglect type and pathway in patients with neglect.
