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

Blood oxygenation level-dependent fMRI contrast depends on the volume and oxygenation of blood flowing through the circulatory system. The effects on image intensity depend temporally on the arrival of blood within a voxel, and signal can be monitored during the time course of such blood flow. It has been previously shown that the passage of global endogenous variations in blood volume and oxygenation can be tracked as blood passes through the brain by determining the strength and peak time lag of their cross-correlation with blood oxygenation level-dependent data. By manipulating blood composition using transient hypercarbia and hyperoxia, we can induce much larger oxygenation and volume changes in the blood oxygenation level-dependent signal than result from natural endogenous fluctuations. This technique was used to examine cerebrovascular parameters in healthy subjects (n = 8) and subjects with intracranial stenosis (n = 22), with a subgroup of intracranial stenosis subjects scanned before and after surgical revascularization (n = 6). The halfwidth of cross-correlation lag times in the brain was larger in IC stenosis subjects (21.21 ± 14.22 s) than in healthy control subjects (8.03 ± 3.67), p < 0.001, and was subsequently reduced in regions that co-localized with surgical revascularization. These data show that blood circulatory timing can be measured robustly and longitudinally throughout the brain using simple respiratory challenges.
