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

Abducens nerve palsy is a common ocular motor paralysis with a broad set of etiopathogenetic causes. Magnetic resonance imaging is a key diagnostic technique to investigate organic causes of sixth nerve palsy, as it allows a detailed representation of the course of the nerve, particularly in its intracisternal tract. Anatomical variants of the sixth cranial nerve comprise duplications and fenestrations in various traits. Anatomical variants of cerebellar arteries have also been described. We report the case of a patient with abducens nerve palsy presumably related to a neurovascular conflict due to a peculiar anatomical variant, which consists in a cerebellar artery passing through the intracisternal duplication of the abducens nerve.
