[Clinical relevance of normal and enlarged Virchow-Robin spaces].
Review in Der Nervenarzt, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Virchow-Robin spaces ensheathe the penetrating vessels of the brain. They communicate with the subpial space, are filled with interstitial fluid and contain a specific population of macrophages.Virchow-Robin spaces are a common finding in both CT and MR imaging. Recent radiologic studies have led to a concise definition of Virchow-Robin spaces.Virchow-Robin spaces appear isointense to cerebrospinal fluid on all imaging sequences. They are typically localised in the basal ganglia, subcortically or in the midbrain and pons. Enlarged Virchow-Robin spaces may appear as a single or multiple lesion(s). They may cause hydrocephalus in rare cases. Some studies indicate that enlarged Virchow-Robin spaces occur more frequently in elderly patients, in patients with arterial hypertension or CADASIL.In this review we illustrate the diagnostic criteria of normal and enlarged Virchow-Robin spaces and discuss their clinical relevance. Furthermore, we present an overview of the current knowledge on the anatomy, physiology and pathology of Virchow-Robin spaces.
