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 review the evolution of cross-sectional imaging in pediatric neuroradiology from early developments to current advancements and future directions.

methodsInformation was obtained through a PubMed literature search as well as referenced online resources and personal experience from radiologists currently practicing pediatric neuroimaging and those who experienced the era of nascent cross-sectional imaging.

resultsThe advent of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the 1970s and 1980s brought about a revolutionary shift in the field of medical imaging, neurosurgical and neurological diagnosis. These cross-sectional imaging techniques ushered in a new era by enabling the visualization of soft tissue structures within the brain and spine. Advancements in these imaging modalities have continued at a remarkable pace, now providing not only high high-resolution and 3-dimensional anatomical imaging, but also functional assessment. With each stride forward, CT and MRI have provided clinicians with invaluable insights, improving the accuracy and precision of diagnoses, facilitating the identification of optimal surgical targets, and guiding the selection of appropriate treatment strategies.

conclusionThis article traces the origins and early developments of CT and MRI, chronicling their journey from pioneering technologies to their current indispensable status in clinical applications and exciting possibilities that lie ahead in the realm of medical imaging and neurologic diagnosis.
