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

backgroundThe phenomenon where ambulant patients suffer sudden falls during the process of getting off the couch and walking to the changing room post magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination is uncommon. However, it can be a very disturbing experience for such patients. Therefore, there is the need to effectively support patients to avoid falls when they are getting off the MRI couch when the examination is completed.

methodsTwo ambulant patients who had undergone MRI were observed to have lost their balance when they attempted to get off from the MRI couch after their procedures. Face-to-face interrogations were made about what they felt.

resultsThe two patients complained of experiencing some form of dizziness/vertigo when they got off the MRI couch.

conclusionThis paper reported two cases of falls that occurred in an MRI facility. The aim was to emphasize the need for extra care and support for all patients who undergo MRI examinations due to the potential risk of MRI induced vertigo or dizziness regardless of the patient's condition.
