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 1 (CM1) is defined as a herniation of encephalon matter through the base of the skull. The amount of herniation is cited as greater than 3 mm or 5 mm, depending on the source of literature. We report a rare case of a 55-year-old male initially presenting with bilateral papilledema and monocular right lower quadrantanopia, found to have CM1. An MRI confirmed 4.87 mm herniation of the cerebellar tonsils at the foramen magnum, and he was diagnosed with CM1. He was later found to have a normal opening pressure on lumbar puncture at 10 cm H
