Mean Intracranial Volume of Brain among Patients with Normal Magnetic Resonance Imaging Referred to the Department of Radiology and Imaging of a Tertiary Care Centre.
Article in JNMA; journal of the Nepal Medical Association, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Introduction: The measurement of brain volume is an important aspect of the assessment of brain structure and function. However, limited data is available on brain volumetry in the Nepalese population. The study aimed to find the mean intracranial volume of the brain among patients with normal magnetic resonance imaging referred to the Department of Radiology and Imaging of a tertiary care centre. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among patients with normal magnetic resonance imaging referred to the Department of Radiology and Imaging in a tertiary care centre. All magnetic resonance imaging of the brain during the study period was reviewed by a radiologist. Magnetic resonance imaging with abnormal findings, clinical signs of neurological deficit, dementia and psychiatric symptoms were excluded from the study. A convenience sampling method was used. The point estimate was calculated at a 95% Confidence Interval. Results: Among 285 Magnetic Resonance Imaging datasets, the mean intracranial volume was 1286.30±129.88 cc (1271.22-1301.38, 95% of Confidence Interval). The mean cerebral volume was 985.06±106.4 cc, cerebellar volume was 126.99±13.05 cc and brain stem volume was 19.97±2.54 cc. Conclusions: The mean intracranial volume of the brain among patients with normal magnetic resonance imaging was found to be lower than other studies done in similar settings. Keywords: brainstem; cerebellum; cerebrum; magnetic resonance imaging.
