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

purposeTo evaluate the feasibility of using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to characterize the temporospatial profile of axonal degeneration and its relation to blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability. MATERIALS AND

methodsLongitudinal DTI was performed in Wallerian degeneration slow (WldS) mice following retinal ischemia. In parallel, gadolinium (Gd)-enhanced T

resultsReduced axial diffusivity was found in the optic nerve (ON, -15%, P = 0.0063) 1 week and optic tact (OT, -18%, P = 0.0077) 2 weeks after retinal ischemia, which were respectively associated with an 11% (P = 0.0116) and 25% (P = 0.0001) axonal loss. Increased radial diffusivity was found 1-2 weeks after the colocated decrease of axial diffusivity (35% increase, P = 0.0388 in the ON at week 2 and an 80% increase, P = 0.0015 in the OT at week 4). No significant changes were observed using Gd-T

conclusionWe demonstrated the utility of DTI to characterize anterograde-propagating axonal degeneration through the ON and OT following retinal damage. Evans blue staining revealed serum albumin accumulation at injured sites, although there was no BBB leakage detectable using Gd-T LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 2 J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2017;45:482-491.
