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

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a rare, devastating motor neuron disease characterized by the degeneration of upper and lower motor neurons causing muscular weakness, paralysis, and eventual death. MRI plays a supportive role in the diagnosis; its primary role is to exclude other clinical mimics. Some of the imaging features associated with ALS include hypointense signal along the motor cortices on susceptibility or T2*-weighted imaging and hyperintensity along the corticospinal tracts (CST) within the cerebral hemispheres, brainstem, and spinal cord on the T2 weighted imaging. In this report, we discuss the value of T1 hyperintensity along the CST, especially in the spinal cord.
