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

We present diffusion tensor tractography (DTT) findings in a case of hypertrophic olivary degeneration (HOD) and cerebellar ataxia. A 56-year-old man presented with abnormal ataxic gait and dysarthria. MRI 5 months after onset showed chronic pontine hematoma and enlarged bilateral inferior olivary nuclei. DTT showed decreased volume of the bilateral central tegmental tract, in accordance with the conventional hypothesis that HOD is associated with neurologic insult to the Guillain-Mollaret triangle. The patient's cerebellar ataxia was speculated to be due to decreased decussating fibers of the superior cerebellar peduncle, and this was confirmed by DTT.
