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

Under certain classifications, a Chiari type I (CMI) malformation can be characterized as a herniation of the cerebellar tonsils greater than 3 mm. Patients with CMI often have a smaller posterior fossa volume, which results in a smaller amount of space for the cerebellum, leading to the herniation of the cerebellar tonsils through the foramen magnum. Although inheritable factors such as posterior fossa volume can be traced to specific genes, there has not been a gene that can be attributed to directly causing CMI. However, several cases of CMI have exhibited a familial inheritance pattern. There are mixed findings regarding the exact nature of its inheritance, with some papers arguing in favor of an autosomal dominant pattern. In this case series, we detail a mother, father, and all 3 of their children diagnosed with CMI. Previous literature has not included both a mother and father with CMI.
