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

The biggest challenge for clinicians and surgeons when it comes to radiological examinations is the ability to request the right modalities and to understand the strengths and limitations of each modality. This is particularly important in paediatric neurosciences where despite magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) being the main imaging modality, there are several protocols, technical limitations of specific scanners and issues related to sedation that need to be taken into account. In this chapter, we describe a simple approach for six common neurosurgical conditions to guide the paediatric neurosurgeons in requesting the right MR protocol and understanding the rationale of it.Paediatric neuro-oncology, epilepsy and neck/skull base protocols are discussed elsewhere in this book and therefore will not be a focus in this chapter (Bernasconi et al., Epilepsia 60:1054-68, 2019; D'Arco et al., Neuroradiology 64:1081-100; 2022; Avula et al., Childs Nerv Syst 37:2497-508; 2021).
