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

STA bypass assessment by ultrasonography after bypass surgery in patients with moyamoya disease is minimally invasive and can be performed repeatedly. With STA bypass assessment by ultrasonography, it was shown that in the short term, blood flow that passes through the STA peaks approximately 5 days after the bypass surgery and then gradually decreases over 7 days. In the medium and long terms, it has been shown that the blood flow through the bypass decreases, compared with that during the first postoperative week, and continues for approximately half a year. The ultrasonographic STA parameters can also clearly indicate bypass patency, but there remains some discussion regarding bypass function. Although some reports have tried to show that these parameters are also useful for predicting acute-phase TNEs and predicting the future of bypass function, no studies have yet examined these parameters in detail in relation to the state of cerebral circulation or degree of residual antegrade flow, and additional studies are needed in the future.
