Visualization of CSF Flow with Time-resolved 3D MR Velocity Mapping in Aqueductal Stenosis Before and After Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy : A Feasibility Study.
Article in Clinical neuroradiology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
purposeThe aim of this study was to evaluate timed-resolved three-dimensional (3D) magnetic resonance (MR) velocity mapping as a method for investigation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow changes in patients with aqueductal stenosis (AS) treated by endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV).
methodsThe MR velocity mapping was performed in 12 AS patients before and after ETV and in 10 healthy volunteers by using a 3-Tesla MR system. Time-resolved 3D MR velocity mapping data were acquired with a standard 3D phase contrast (PC) sequence with cardiac triggering. Values of mean (v
resultsOf the patients 11 showed a satisfactory clinical improvement after ETV, whereas one patient needed subsequent shunt implantation. All AS patients showed significant hypomotile CSF flow dynamics in the third ventricle when compared to healthy subjects before surgery (p < 0.05). In contrast, CSF flow velocity was increased within the Foramen of Monro in AS patients. After ETV, all AS patients showed a decrease of CSF flow dynamics within the third ventricle. Mean and peak CSF flow velocities through the ventriculostomy were 1.72 ± 0.59 cm/s (v
conclusionThis study demonstrates that timed-resolved 3D MR velocity mapping is a useful imaging investigation for diagnostics and follow-up in patients with AS. This new technique provides an insight into the physiological CSF flow changes related with AS and its treatment.
