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

purposeChiari malformation type 1 (CM-1) is a posterior fossa anomaly characterized by herniation of the cerebellar tonsils from the foramen magnum (FM). This study compares FM, medulla spinalis (MS), and herniated cerebellar tonsils ratios by making area measurements from axial plane MRI in CM-1 patients and the control group.

methodsOur study evaluated 30 pediatric patients with CM-1 and 30 people in the control group. The lengths of the McRae line, twining line, and clivus line were measured on the posterior cranial fossa evaluation. The areas of FM (A

resultsAs a result of area measurements obtained from axial cross-sectional MRI, a statistically significant difference was found between CM-1 patients and the control group. According to the results of the ROC analysis, if an individual's A

conclusionIt will be easier to diagnose the patient with the new approach we obtained from axial MR images in addition to sagittal MR images. This method can be a guide in some cases when the surgeons are undecided.
