White-matter commissures: a clinically focused anatomical review.
Review in Surgical and radiologic anatomy : SRA, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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.
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
purposeThe objective of this review is to provide a structured approach to the main white matter commissures, their anatomic and radiological definition and disease implications.
methodsThe Pubmed database and The JAMA Network were used for the literature review and the following terms were searched using Sort by: Best Match and Sort by: Most Recent: telencephalic commissure, forebrain commissure anatomy, fornix anatomy, commissure of fornix, posterior commissure, corpus callosum, commissural agenesis, Probst bundle, corpus callosum disorders review, corpus callosum diseases review, Marchiafava-Bignami, Alzheimer's disease and Forel commissure; 36 papers were selected, one excluded due to the language barrier.
resultsThe interhemispheric communication in the brain is achieved via the brain commissures, bundles of white matter linking the two cerebral hemispheres. Anterior white commissure (AWC)-related with olfactory and non-visual communication, hippocampal commissure-main efferent pathway of the hippocampus, connecting the hippocampal formation to structures beyond the temporal lobe, crucial in declarative memory formation and consolidation-and the corpus callosum (CC)-from the anterior commissure to the hippocampal commissure-are the main telencephalic commissures. Supramammilary commissure, posterior commissure, supraoptic commissure and habenular commissure are diencephalic commissures-unknown function, probably related to involuntary eye movements. Commissural agenesis (AWC is absent or impossible to recognize), Alzheimer's Disease (hippocampal commissure may contribute for disease dissemination) and agenesis of corpus callosum are some of the disturbances that involve the telenchephalic commissures.
conclusionsA comprehensive understanding of the clinic-anatomic correlation is pivotal to understand the pathology and therefore improve our diagnostic accuracy and treatment options, in the background of all patient management.
