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 integrity of the corticospinal tract (CST) is significantly affected following basal ganglia haemorrhage. We aimed to assess the local features of CST and to effectively predict motor function by diffusion characteristics of CST in patients with motor injury following acute haemorrhage in the acute basal ganglia region. We recruited 37 patients with paresis of the lateral limbs caused by acute basal ganglia haemorrhage. Based on the automated fiber quantification method to track CST, assessed the character of each CST segment between the affected and contralateral sides, and correlated these with the Fugl-Meyer (FM) and Barthel Index (BI) scores at 6 months after onset. The fractional anisotropy (FA) values of the injured side of CST showed a significantly lower FA than the contralateral side along the tract profiles (p < 0.05, corrections for multiple comparisons). The FA values of each site at the internal capsule, closed corona radiata were positively correlated with the FM and BI score at 6 months after onset (p < 0.001, respectively). Our findings assessed the character of CST vividly in detail and dementated the primary sites of CST can predict the long-term outcome of motor function. This study may facilitate future clinical and cognitive studies of acute haemorrhage.
