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

Falcine sinus is a normal midline embryonic venous sinus present in the fetal brain and usually disappears by birth. Persistent falcine sinus (PFS) has been reported as a normal variant or along with vein of Galen (VOG) malformation, encephalocele, and other abnormalities. Schizencephaly, either closed or open type, has been reported with other associated vascular anomalies. We report a 22-month-old child, who presented with delayed milestones and referred for magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, and the child was found to have PFS with associated bilateral temporo-occipital closed-lip schizencephaly, hippocampal abnormalities, falco-tentorial dehiscence, and white matter abnormalities. The vein of Galen and straight sinus were absent, and the internal cerebral veins were seen draining into superior sagittal sinus via the falcine sinus. These set of abnormalities are unique from abnormalities reported previously in association with the falcine sinus.
