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

purposeTo describe the ontogeny of vertical semicircular canals using computed tomography. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe have studied 39 human fetuses aged between 17 and 38 weeks of development through multi-helicoidal CT.

resultsThe first signs of ossification in the semicircular canals, superior and posterior, are from 19 weeks of development, through two primary ossification centers in each canal, which will take part in the formation of the outer cover oriented towards the middle and posterior brain fossae, respectively. In this process it must be added the intervention of the common branch. Internal bone covers are formed by ossification of the fossa subarcuata in the superior semicircular canal, and from the compact center of the labyrinthine capsule into the posterior canal. The tomographic study has allowed us to demonstrate how ossification follows a variable rate, establishing a period between 21 and 26 weeks where there are completely closed canals with others still open to the brain fossae.

conclusionsThe tomographic study of the semicircular canals has enabled us to establish a critical period in its ossification that could explain the etiology of the congenital-type dehiscence.
