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

backgroundThis study aimed to quantify total lymphatic fluid spaces of the inner ears volumetrically in the dog in order to find a correlation between the lymphatic volume of the inner ears and motion sickness susceptibility.

methodsA total of 16 healthy adult Beagle dogs were used to delineate the lymphatic fluid spaces of inner ears by magnetic resonance imag- ing with a 3-dimensional-constructive interference steady-state sequence. Manual segmentation was applied for 3-dimensional reconstruction and volumetric quantification of total lymphatic space. The susceptibility of Beagle dogs to motion sickness was judged by latency of vomiting during rotatory stimulus.

resultsThe volume range of total fluid space in the vestibule and cochlea of Beagle dogs is 55.07 ± 6.2 mm3. There is no significant difference in the total lymphatic volume of bilateral inner ears between 2 different motion sickness susceptibility groups (i.e., sensitive group and insensi- tive group), but the difference of lymphatic volume in the cochlea and vestibule between bilateral inner ears in insensitive group is greater than that of sensitive group. Moreover, a significant positive correlation was found between bilateral inner ear difference in lymphatic volume and vomiting latency.

conclusionMagnetic resonance imaging could be used as a method to evaluate the inner ear lymphatic fluid volume of Beagle dogs with different susceptibilities to motion sickness, through which we found that motion sickness susceptibility is related to the difference in lymphatic volume in the vestibule and cochlea between bilateral inner ears, and the larger the volume difference, the lower the susceptibility.
