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

This study investigated the relationship between the structural characteristics of the left arcuate fasciculus (AF) reconstructed using diffusion tensor image (DTI) and the type of fluent aphasia according to hemorrhage lesions in patients with fluent aphasia following intracranial hemorrhage (ICH). Five patients with fluent aphasia following ICH (three males, two females; mean age 55.0 years; range 47 to 60 years) and with sixteen age-matched heathy control subjects were involved in this study. The ICHs of patients 1 and 2 were located in the left parietal lobe and the left basal ganglia. ICHs were located in the left anterior temporal of patient 3, the left temporal lobe of patient 4, and the left frontal lobe of patient 5. We assessed patients' language function using K-WAB (the Korean version of the Western Aphasia Battery) and reconstructed the AF using DTI. We measured DTI parameters including the fractional anisotropy (FA), tract volume (TV), fiber number (FN), and mean diffusivity (MD). All patients showed neural tract injury (the decrement of FA, TV, and FN and increment of MD). The left AFs in patients 1 and 2 were shifted from Broca's and Wernicke's territories. The destruction of Wernicke's territory resulted in conduction or transcortical sensory aphasia in patients 3 and 4. The structural difference of the AF in patients following ICH in the left hemisphere was associated with various types of fluent aphasia.
