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

Liver and spleen volume measurements are important for early detection and monitoring of liver disease. However, alterations in liver and spleen volumes with postural changes, i.e., the different effects of gravity, remain unclear. This study aims to evaluate the effects of posture on the liver and spleen in the supine and upright positions with an original magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system capable of imaging in any posture (multiposture MRI). The liver and spleen volumes were assessed in ten healthy volunteers (age range: 20-24 years) in the supine and upright positions with multiposture MRI (0.4 T) and compared between postures. The liver and spleen volumes were significantly smaller in the upright position than in the supine position (P < 0.05 for both). Multiposture MRI offers more detailed information on liver and spleen volumes.
