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: Partial or complete loss of function of the 7 Methods: Data of vascular anatomy were obtained from: (i) a group of 100 injected temporal bones submitted to microdissection; (ii) a group of 30 sectioned temporal bones; (iii) a group of 30 cases who underwent surgery for small vestibular schwannoma. Results: A detailed picture was obtained concerning position and course of the anterior inferior cerebellar artery, origin and course of internal auditory artery (IAA) and its branches. Handling and cleavage of IAA from nerves was also explored. Conclusions: The role of blood supply in function preservation of 7
