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

Thalamic aphasia is thought to occur secondary to disruptions in the cortico-subcortical connections. Although rare, thalamic aphasia is a well-known phenomenon that usually presents with primarily lexical-semantic deficits with preservation of comprehension and repetition. Global aphasia secondary to thalamic injury is extremely rare, with only a few case reports of patients with left thalamic hemorrhages. The prognosis for thalamic aphasia is generally good, with most patients showing little to no symptoms after days or weeks. However, global thalamic aphasia carries a more guarded prognosis with limited recovery months after injury. Here, we report a case of global thalamic aphasia secondary to bilateral thalamic damage post-cardiac arrest.
