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 an uncommon and unusual cause of acute amnesia. The fornix is a white matter tract bundle that plays an important function in memory. We present the case of a 60-year-old male presenting with altered mental status and acute onset amnesia with CT and MR imaging demonstrating an acute left fornix infarct. This case serves to further illuminate the findings associated with this uncommon clinical event. In addition, it highlights the importance for physicians across multiple subspecialities to maintain an index of suspicion for fornix infarct in the evaluation of acute onset amnesia.
