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

This study aimed to evaluate children with lymphoblastic leukemia and examine the potential correlation between corticospinal tract (CST) injury and motor dysfunction prior to chemotherapy using diffusion tensor tractography (DTT). Nineteen consecutive patients with childhood leukemia (mean age 7.483 ± 3.1 years, range 4-12 years) with unilateral motor dysfunction who underwent DTT prior to chemotherapy and twenty healthy individuals (mean age 7.478 ± 1.2 years; range 4-12 years) were enrolled. Motor functions were evaluated by two independent investigators. The cause of neurological dysfunction was identified based on the CST state using mean fractional anisotropy (FA), mean fiber volume (FV), and CST integrity using DTT. All patients showed disrupted integrity and significantly decreased FA and FV in the affected CST compared to the unaffected CST and the control group (
