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

purposeThe goal of this study was to determine stoma and flow patency with 3D SPACE T2 and 3D CISS sequences in cases with cystocisternostomy or cystoventriculostomy.

methodsA total of sixty three patients (total 106 MRI examinations) with endoscopic cystocisternostomy or cystoventriculostomy of arachnoid cyst underwent 1.5-3 T MRI to determine flow patency between June 2007 and April 2018. Postoperative results, the patients' clinic and arachnoid cyst volume were used to confirm stoma and flow patency in MRI.

resultsThe stoma was open and functional in forty three patients. Minimal flow was detected in five patients. Fifteen patients with closed stoma (total 17 MR images) were evaluated with the clinician. Patients' clinic, physical examination, and growth (for pediatric patients) were evaluated. Three of fifteen patients were re-operated. Operative findings and postoperative follow-up MR imaging findings were correlated with our preoperative MRI results. The findings were in compliance in both groups (operated-non-operated groups).

conclusion3D SPACE T2 and 3D CISS are effective sequences in addition to other routine conventional sequences to evaluate stoma and flow patency.
