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

backgroundIn

methodsIn this single-center retrospective cohort study, we recruited 106 patients with LBDs or iRBD and 33 patients without those diseases, of whom we reviewed the

resultsSensitivity/specificity to diagnose LBDs and iRBD were 0.77/0.94 for the early H/M ratio (≤ 2.0), 0.82/0.94 for the delayed H/M ratio (≤ 2.0), and 0.89/0.91 for WR (≥ 23.0). When patients were considered positive if at least either the early H/M ratio or WR was abnormal, the sensitivity significantly increased to 0.97, whereas the specificity remained similar at 0.91. Furthermore, our subgroup analyses revealed that WR enhancement preceded H/M ratio reduction, but, in patients with a severely reduced early H/M ratio, paradoxically normal WR could be observed.

conclusionWe propose the highly sensitive, combined early H/M ratio and WR assessments for
