In vivo monitoring of acute flavivirus (Modoc) encephalitis with regional and whole-brain quantitative diffusion magnetic resonance imaging.

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.
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
In vivo imaging of structural changes in the brain of patients with encephalitis has become an important aid in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) was employed to quantitate regional and whole-brain diffusion-weighted MRI changes in a hamster model for acute flavivirus encephalitis. The regional apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) was determined in hyperintense regions seen on T2-weighted images (i.e., the thalamic area and the temporal lobe), but anatomical variation and structural heterogeneity of encephalitic lesions severely impeded the placement of regions of interest (ROI). Therefore, quantitative whole-brain diffusion-weighted imaging was carried out and revealed a significantly reduced ADC (P = .02) in the brain of hamsters with acute encephalitis (n = 7) as compared to that of healthy, uninfected controls (n = 3). Furthermore, the ADC histogram demonstrated a reduced peak height and center of gravity during the acute encephalitis. Our findings could further support the use of diffusion-weighted imaging for in vivo monitoring of acute flavivirus encephalitis and for the study of therapeutic approaches.
