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

The aim of this study was a detailed examination of the arterial vascularization of the interpeduncular cisternal part (ICP) of a proximal segment of the human oculomotor nerve (ON). The blood vessels of the ONs were carefully microdissected and studied in 30 brain hemispheres using 6.3× to 20× magnification of the stereoscopic microscope. The arteries were injected with the mixture of 10% India ink and gelatin. For better understanding, one brainstem specimen was prepared following a histological procedure, transversely serially cut into 5-μm thick slices, and stained with Luxol fast blue. Another injected midbrain specimen was cut in 1-mm-thick transverse sections, completely cleared with methylsalycilate, and analyzed under transmitted light. The common oculomotor arteries (COAs) and the small oculomotor branches, which participate in the vascularization of the dorsal and ventral surfaces of the ICPs of ONs, were analyzed and their diameters were measured. The dorsal COA was present in 83.33% of the ONs, one per nerve, with an average diameter of 213.57 μm. The ventral COAs were found in 76.67% of the ONs, one per nerve, with an average diameter of 137.64 μm. The mean diameter of the dorsal COAs was significantly higher than the mean diameter of the ventral COAs (
