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

Objective This study aims to evaluate the MRI morphology of corpus callosum malformations and the associated anomalies frequently observed in a tertiary care center in northern India. Methods We conducted a retrospective cross-sectional study using MRI reports, images, and clinical records from January 2020 to July 2024. A total of 19 patients with corpus callosum agenesis or hypoplasia were identified, with 17 patients included after excluding those with incomplete records. We analyzed MRI findings for agenesis type (complete or partial), commissural abnormalities, midline anomalies, cortical abnormalities, and posterior fossa abnormalities. Statistical analysis was performed using chi-square tests to compare associations between complete and partial agenesis. Results Of the 17 patients, 52.9% had complete agenesis and 47.1% had partial agenesis. Complete agenesis was associated with higher rates of commissural involvement (44.4% vs. 12.5%), midline anomalies (22.2% vs. 0%), and Probst bundle formation (88.9% vs. 37.5%). Ventricular distortion was more common in complete agenesis (88.9% vs. 40%), and cortical malformations were also more prevalent (44.4% vs. 12.5%). Other anomalies included holoprosencephaly, Dandy-Walker malformation, and hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy changes. Conclusion Complete agenesis of the corpus callosum is significantly associated with other commissural abnormalities, midline cysts, Probst bundle formation, ventricular distortions, and cortical malformations compared to partial agenesis. This study highlights the varied imaging presentations of corpus callosum malformations and their associated anomalies.
