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

purposeChiari malformation type I (CMI) patients have been independently shown to have both increased resistance to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow in the cervical spinal canal and greater cardiac-induced neural tissue motion compared to healthy controls. The goal of this paper is to determine if a relationship exists between CSF flow resistance and brain tissue motion in CMI subjects.

methodsComputational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques were employed to compute integrated longitudinal impedance (ILI) as a measure of unsteady resistance to CSF flow in the cervical spinal canal in thirty-two CMI subjects and eighteen healthy controls. Neural tissue motion during the cardiac cycle was assessed using displacement encoding with stimulated echoes (DENSE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique.

resultsThe results demonstrate a positive correlation between resistance to CSF flow and the maximum displacement of the cerebellum for CMI subjects (r = 0.75, p = 6.77 × 10

conclusionThis study establishes a relationship between CSF flow resistance in the cervical spinal canal and cardiac-induced brain tissue motion in the cerebellum for CMI subjects. Further research is necessary to understand the importance of resistance and brain tissue motion in the symptomatology of CMI.
