Intracranial Artery Injury in HIV-negative Tuberculous Meningitis : A High-Resolution Vessel Wall Imaging Study.
Observational study in Clinical neuroradiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 features of intracranial arterial injury in tuberculous meningitis (TBM) are of important diagnostic and prognostic value. The study aimed to elucidate the high-resolution vessel wall imaging (HR-VWI) manifestations of intracranial arterial insults in TBM.
methodsThe clinical data, routine cranial magnetic resonance imaging, magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and HR-VWI before and after contrast enhancement of intracranial arteries in clinically diagnosed TBM patients were retrospectively analyzed.
resultsIn this study 27 TBM patients were included. Abnormalities in the intracranial arteries were detected in all patients using HR-VWI. Typical vessel insults included nodular or granular lesions, related thickness and prominent enhancement in the wall, and lumen narrowing or occlusion. The most frequently involved arteries were the C4 segment of the internal carotid artery and the P1 segment of the posterior cerebral artery. The lesions were consistent with disease stage and disease duration and correlated with infarction.
conclusionThe use of HR-VWI revealed that cerebral artery involvement in patients with TBM is much more common and extensive than in previous radiological reports. The use of HR-VWI improves recognition of arterial pathologies and has diagnostic value in patients with TBM.
