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

Moyamoya disease (MMD) is considered to run a progressive course, but little is known about its long-term outcomes. We conducted a structured phone interview to assess outcomes in a mixed cohort of conservatively and surgically treated patients a median of 9 years and up to 27 years after a diagnosis of MMD. We found that 60% of patients had a favorable outcome (modified Rankin Scale score <3), with only 16% of adult patients working full time. We conclude that MMD considerably impacts daily life in a substantial number of those affected, with only a minority able to provide for themselves.
