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

Ischemic infarction of the corpus callosum is a rare condition due to its rich vascular supply and therefore has been infrequently reported. Here, we present a case of a patient who developed a delayed infarct of the corpus callosum in the body. The condition was characterized by bilateral lower extremity weakness and visual disturbances following intraventricular hemorrhage managed with ventriculostomy. Understanding the anatomy and function of the corpus callosum is crucial to understanding the etiology of infarctions as well as their clinical significance. It is also essential to distinguish between relatively common post-shunting changes and true infarction and to recognize the limited consequences of corpus callosum infarction. Increased awareness of this rare infarct would help to prevent unnecessary interventions and increase the ability of the physician to provide optimal care for the patient.
