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

Objectives: To investigate the effect of diffusivity metrics of magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging (MR-DTI) in the assessment of treatment effects. Methods: MR-DTI examination for trigeminal neuralgia (TN) patients and the diffusivity metrics of the trigeminal ganglion (TG) were analyzed. Before and after the percutaneous stereotactic radiofrequency rhizotomy (PSR) operation, the treatment effect was assessed using pain scores and MR-DTI. The correlation between the diffusivity metrics of cranial nerve five (CNV) and visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores before and after treatment in TN patients was explored. Results: In PSR patients, the fractional anisotropy (FA) of the affected TG is a significantly lower than that of the unaffected side ( Conclusion: MR-DTI is capable of investigating the longitudinal changes of FA before and after radiofrequency treatment, and diffusivity metrics could be an independent reliable efficacy indicator for TN. Significance: The alteration of the diffusivity on TG may be correlated with the effect of radiofrequency treatment.
