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

Cerebral infarction is known to cause secondary degeneration of the areas connected to the primarily damaged regions. This has been named as acute network injury and is usually recognized in newborns or babies by high signal intensity on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI). In this article, we present 2 cases demonstrating several characteristics of network injury. Some features are comparable to previous studies and others are distinctive to our cases. The patients not only showed secondary injury in the thorough pyramidal tract along the longitudinal extensions of neural tracts as expected but also followed transverse connections to reach the contralateral hemisphere. The location of network injury varied according to the initial lesion and projected in an omnidirectional manner as long as the brain parts are interconnected. In addition, the cases well demonstrated the temporal changes on brain imaging. Network injury appeared on DWI around a week after major damage and then subsequently disappeared. The overall process of appearance to disappearance was completed within 2 weeks from the symptom onset. As ominous neurological outcomes are thought to be related to acute network injuries, a comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon is pivotal in improving diagnosis and management.
