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

backgroundHemorrhage lesions may lead to bilateral hypertrophic olivary degeneration (HOD) through interruption of the dentato-rubral-olivary pathway. The pathological features of HOD are unusual neuronal trans-synaptic degenerative changes. CASE SUMMARY: A 56-year-old female was admitted to our hospital because her lower extremities and left upper ones were unable to move for 3 mo, and the swelling of her right lower extremities became worse 3 days ago. She had a hypertension history. Her characteristic clinical manifestations are palatal myoclonus and nystagmus. The patient's magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) results showed that she had bilateral HOD after an acute pontine hemorrhage. She was given symptomatic and supportive treatment. The gabapentin, the memantine and the trihexyphenidyl were taken twice a day each. The rehabilitation and psychotherapy were implemented. After 3 months of treatment, her eye symptoms improved.

conclusionBilateral HOD is a rare phenomenon after pontine hemorrhage. The key to diagnosis lies in the clinical manifestations and MRI results.
