Serial proton MR spectroscopy and diffusion tensor imaging in infantile Balo's concentric sclerosis.
Article in Neuroradiology, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 9 papers.
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
introductionProton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) yield different parameters for characterizing the evolution of a demyelinating white matter disease. The purpose was to elucidate biochemical and microstructural changes in Balo's concentric sclerosis lesions and to correlate the findings with the clinical course.
methodsLocalized short-echo time MRS and DTI were performed over 6 years in a left occipital lesion of a female patient (age at onset 13.8 years) with Balo's concentric sclerosis. A right homonym hemianopsia persisted.
resultsMetabolite patterns were in line with initial active demyelination followed by gliosis and partial recovery of neuroaxonal metabolites. Fractional anisotropy and mean diffusivity of tissue water remained severely altered. Fiber tracking confirmed a disruption in the geniculo-calcarine tract as well as involvement of the corpus callosum.
conclusionMRS and DTI depict complementary parameters, but DTI seems to correlate better with clinical symptoms.
