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

objectiveTo investigate the effect of different types of transverse sinus stenosis on blood flow patterns in the ipsilateral superior curve of the sigmoid sinus.

methodsAccording to the morphology of transverse and sigmoid sinus sections in pulsatile tinnitus patients, ten idealized models with different degrees and positions of transverse sinus stenosis were constructed. Computational fluid dynamics simulations were performed to compare the hemodynamic characteristics among these models. Follow-up images of previous cases were included, which preliminarily confirmed the hypothesis that bone plate erosion of the sigmoid sinus sulcus is related to blood flow impingement.

resultsBlood flow impingement on the superior curve of the sigmoid sinus wall intensified with increasing degree of stenosis and decreased with increasing distance between the stenosis and the sigmoid sinus. The impact zone was generally confined to the anterior and lateral walls of the superior curve of the sigmoid sinus. When the stenosis was located far from the middle of the transverse sinus, the blood flow impingement on the sigmoid sinus wall was very weak.

conclusionsWhen stenosis is located far from the sigmoid sinus, the causes of tinnitus should be comprehensively considered instead of assuming that stenosis is the main cause. Bone plate erosion of the sigmoid sinus sulcus was promoted by blood flow impingement. KEY POINTS: • Ten idealized models with different degrees and positions of stenosis were constructed. • The causes of pulsatile tinnitus should be comprehensively considered. • Sigmoid sinus plate dehiscence was promoted by blood flow impingement.
