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

Purpose: Neurovascular compression (NVC) is considered as the main factor leading to the classical trigeminal neuralgia (CTN), and a part of idiopathic TN (ITN) may be caused by NVC (ITN-nvc). This study aimed to explore the risk factors for unilateral CTN or ITN-nvc (UC-ITN), which have bilateral NVC, using machine learning (ML). Methods: A total of 89 patients with UC-ITN were recruited prospectively. According to whether there was NVC on the unaffected side, patients with UC-ITN were divided into two groups. All patients underwent a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. The bilateral cisternal segment of the trigeminal nerve was manually delineated, which avoided the offending vessel (Ofv), and the features were extracted. Dimensionality reduction, feature selection, model construction, and model evaluation were performed step-by-step. Results: Four textural features with greater weight were selected in patients with UC-ITN without NVC on the unaffected side. For UC-ITN patients with NVC on the unaffected side, six textural features with greater weight were selected. The textural features (rad_score) showed significant differences between the affected and unaffected sides ( Conclusion: Besides NVC, the texture features of trigeminal-nerve cisternal segment and Ofv were also the risk factors for UC-ITN. These findings provided a basis for further exploration of the microscopic etiology of UC-ITN.
