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

We investigated the predictive value of the corticobulbar tract (CBT) for dysphagia using diffusion tensor tractography in the early stage of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) for dysphagia. Forty-two patients with spontaneous ICH ± intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) and 22 control subjects were recruited. The patients were classified into three groups: group A-could remove nasogastric tube (NGT) in the acute stage of ICH, group B-could remove NGT within 6 months after onset, and group C-could not remove NGT until 6 months after onset. The CBT were reconstructed, and fractional anisotropy (FA) and tract volume (TV) values were determined. The FA of the CBT in the affected hemisphere in group A was lower than in the control group (p < 0.05). The FA and TV of the CBT in the affected hemisphere in group B were lower than those in the control group (p < 0.05). In group C, the FA and TV in the affected hemisphere and unaffected hemispheres were lower than in the control group (p < 0.05). The TV of the CBT in the affected hemisphere in group B showed a moderate negative correlation with the length of time until NGT removal (r = 0.430, p < 0.05). We found that patients with CBT injuries in both hemispheres were not able to remove the NGT until 6 months after onset, whereas patients who were injured only in the affected hemisphere were able to remove NGT within 6 months of onset. The severity of injury to the CBT in the affected hemisphere appeared to be related to the length of time until NGT removal.
