Prevalence of the interthalamic adhesion in the human brain: a review of literature.
Synthesis in Brain structure & function, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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.
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 interthalamic adhesion (IA) is a midline structure connecting the two thalami. Though it has been studied for centuries its exact function remains elusive. Early studies had noted its peculiar absence even among some healthy individuals. Population studies have investigated the differences in prevalence of IA in pathologic conditions and healthy controls. However, there is a general lack of consensus on IA prevalence in the healthy population. Understanding the true prevalence is critical in providing context for future studies, as well as uncovering further clues regarding IA's function. We systematically reviewed the existing literature to evaluate the prevalence of IA. The average prevalence among reviewed studies was higher than previously reported, at 87.3%. Studies utilizing magnetic resonance imaging rather than cadaveric specimens reported higher rates of IA prevalence. A higher prevalence among females was noted throughout the literature that persisted regardless of acquisition modality utilized.
