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

Chiari malformation is a clinico-radiological entity defined by herniation of rhombencephalic structures through the foramen magnum. The most common type, Chiari I, involves herniation of the cerebellar tonsils specifically. We present the case of a 2-year-old with three weeks of progressive bilateral leg weakness, absent reflexes, and the inability to walk. The patient was found to have Chiari I with hydrocephalus and syringomyelia. This is the youngest patient reported in the literature presenting with a clinical picture of spinal shock. Early recognition of this entity allows for proper treatment and improved outcomes.
