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

The aim of this study is to review and discuss the literature on the utilization of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in investigating the structure and feasible function of the myodural bridge complex (MDBC) with relevant muscles, which will be useful to understand the function of the MDB. The myodural bridge (MDB) is a soft tissue connective bridge that provides a fascial continuity between the musculature/ligament and cervical spinal dura mater (SDM) in the suboccipital areas. All of these involved structures are referred to as the MDBC. It would transfer tensile forces effectively from involved suboccipital muscles/ligament to SDM during head movement. Despite present achievements, its anatomic and functional role is still unclear. MRI enables not only
