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 human septum verum represents a small but clinically important region of the brain. Based on the results of animal experiments, the stimulation of its medial part was recently proposed with various indications like epilepsy or cognitive impairment after traumatic brain injury. The aim of our study was to present the anatomical relationships of the human septum verum using fiber dissection and histological analysis to support its research and provide essential information for future deep brain stimulation therapies. 16 human cadaveric brains were dissected according to Klingler's method. To validate our macroscopical findings, 12 samples obtained from the dissected brains and 2 additional specimens from unfrozen brains were prepared for histological examinations. We identified the following white matter connections of the septum verum: (1) the precommissural fibers of the fornix; (2) the inferior fascicle of the septum pellucidum; (3) the cingulum; (4) the medial olfactory stria; (5) the ventral amygdalofugal pathway; (6) the stria medullaris of the thalamus and (7) the stria terminalis. Moreover, we could distinguish a less-known fiber bundle connecting the postcommissural column of the fornix to the stria medullaris of the thalamus and the anterior thalamic nuclei. In this study we present valuable anatomical information about this region to promote safe and effective deep brain stimulation therapies in the future.
