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

An 80-year-old woman had a stroke during treatment for diffuse large B cell lymphoma. She exhibited left hemispatial inattention, forced grasping with her left hand and moderate left hemiplegia. She always grasped the guard rail of the bed with her left hand, which prevented her from standing up and performing activities of daily living (ADL) centred on move and transfer operations. During a medical examination, she showed an imitation behaviour (IB), mimicking gestures visually presented by the examiner, such as holding up. By using her IB in rehabilitation training, flexor-dominated posture of the upper arm was gradually reduced and performance of ADL improved. Her brain lesion was localised in the right middle frontal gyrus. Based on our experience of concomitant appearance of forced grasping and IB in this case, the pathophysiological involvement of the lesion was discussed.
