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

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a neurological disorder, which impairs tongue function for speech and swallowing. A widely used Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) analysis pipeline is employed for quantifying differences in tongue fiber myoarchitecture between controls and ALS patients. This pipeline uses both high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (hMRI) and DTI. hMRI is used to delineate tongue muscles, while DTI provides indices to reveal fiber connectivity within and between muscles. The preliminary results using five controls and two patients show quantitative differences between the groups. This work has the potential to provide insights into the detrimental effects of ALS on speech and swallowing.
