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

There is no three-dimensional (3D) technique to study the microanatomical structures of the in vivo 3D vestibular membranous labyrinth. Recent two MRI methods using a contrast agent can only depict the low-resolution imaging of endolymphatic hydrops. Therefore, we provide the new precise volume rendering algorithms to create the in vivo 3D vestibular membranous labyrinth images from high-resolution temporal bone low-dose CT data. We also ascertain whether the created 3D microstructure images are reliable in anatomical findings. Secondary, we will analyze the age-related changes of the vestibular membranous labyrinth. These created 3D membranous vestibular images were almost consistent with the appearance, dimensions, areas, and angles from those acquired in previous histological works. The age-related image changes showed the enlarged saccule in females, the enlarged utricle in males, and the dilated tendency of the lateral semicircular duct. These results may correlate to the findings of the previous physiological works on cervical and ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potentials, and gait studies. The age-related balance disorders may be associated with the enlargement of each membranous organ in the vestibule. This new imaging technique now enables visualizing microanatomical changes in the in vivo membranous vestibulum, and these created 3D images may suggest physiological information.
