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

Introduction: Acute hepatic encephalopathy significantly damages the normal functioning of human nervous system in a very short period of time. AHE gives birth to micro-hemorrhages which increases the morbidity and mortality associated with this disease. Hence, early diagnosis of this disease and its impacts is a key area of interest. Objective: To investigate value of magnetic resonance susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) in the diagnosis of intracranial micro-hemorrhage in patients with acute hepatic encephalopathy (AHE). Methods: 85 AHE patients in our hospital from January 2017 to September 2019 were enrolled and received the CT and MRI examinations. The intracranial micro-hemorrhage and lesions detected by CT and MRI were compared to find out the sensitivity of each modality with special focus on SWI technique. Results: The detection rate of intracranial micro-hemorrhage in SWI was higher than the detection rate of intracranial micro-hemorrhage observed in T1WI, T2WI and CT (P<0.05). Similarly, the detection rate of lesions in SWI was considerably better than the detection rate of such lesions observed in T1WI, T2WI and CT (P<0.05). Conclusion: Magnetic resonance SWI has significantly better sensitivity in AHE patients with intracerebral micro-hemorrhage, which has proved to be of high value in clinical diagnosis.
