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

Hippocampal infarction is relatively rare. Many different diseases can mimic hippocampal infarction including transient global amnesia, Alzheimer's disease, epilepsy, encephalitis, and encephalopathies. An 89-year-old man was transported to our hospital for altered consciousness. Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging revealed slightly intense signals in the hippocampus with a mildly decreased apparent diffusion coefficient. Serial magnetic resonance imaging revealed features of hippocampal infarction. Symptoms and cognitive function gradually improved with rehabilitation, and he was transferred to a rehabilitation facility on Hospital Day 38. Hippocampal infarction is rare in patients with altered mental status, but should be considered when magnetic resonance imaging shows findings suggestive of this condition. Other differential diseases should be ruled out by serial magnetic resonance imaging and observation of the clinical course.
