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

A prospective, standardised neuroimaging protocol was implemented to characterise mesial temporal lobe pathology in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease and healthy controls focusing on the evaluation of interconnected white and grey matter structures. "Hippocampal pathology in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: selective vulnerability of subfields and their associated projections" [1]. High-resolution diffusion tensor and structural imaging data were acquired on a 3 T MRI platform using standardised sequence parameters. The integrity of the fornix and the perforant pathway was assessed by tractography, to provide fractional anisotropy, axial diffusivity and radial diffusivity measures. Quantitative structural imaging was used to estimate the total intracranial volume, total hippocampal volumes and hippocampal subfield volumes for each participant. Raw white- and grey-matter measures, demographic and clinical data are available online at 'Mendeley Data'. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and Alzheimer's disease exhibit divergent hippocampal profiles.
