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

purposeTo determine whether magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can improve diagnostic accuracy for definite and probable Ménière's disease (MD) based on perilymphatic enhancement (PE) and endolymphatic hydrops (EH).

methods363 patients with unilateral MD (probable MD, n = 75 and definite MD, n = 288) were recruited. A three-dimensional zoomed imaging technique with parallel transmission SPACE real inversion recovery was performed 6 h after intravenous gadolinium injection to investigate the presence of PE and to evaluate the grading and location of EH. PE and EH characteristics were analyzed and compared between the probable and definite MD groups.

resultsThe cochlear and vestibular EH grading on the affected side was more severe in the definite MD group than that in the probable MD group (P < 0.001). The EH locations within the inner ear on the affected side also differed between the two groups (χ

conclusionThe assessment of a combination of PE and EH parameters improved the diagnostic accuracy for probable and definite MD, suggesting that MRI findings may be clinically useful in the diagnosis of MD.
