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

Spinal automatisms and reflexes, peripheral neurogenic and myogenic reactions are common in patients with irreversible brain death. They are therefore compatible and are even understood by experienced investigators as confirmation of irreversible brain death. This article provides an overview of the phenomenology of irreversible brain death and discusses it from a neuropathological perspective. Furthermore, irreversible brain death is described in order to distinguish it from pathological movements and motor reactions in comatose patients or patients with disturbed consciousness due to severe brain disorders.
