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

backgroundMost of the in vivo neurovascular imaging studies are performed in anesthetized animals. However, anesthesia significantly affects cerebral hemodynamics. NEW

methodWe applied optical coherence tomography (OCT) methods such as optical microangiography (OMAG) and Doppler optical microangiography (DOMAG) to quantitatively evaluate the effect of anesthesia in cerebral vasculature and blood flow in mouse brain.

resultsThe OMAG results indicated the increase of large vessel diameter and capillary density induced by ketamine-xylazine and isoflurane, meaning that both anesthetics caused vasodilation. In addition, the preliminary results from DOMAG showed that isoflurane increased the baseline cerebral blood flow. COMPARISON WITH EXISTING

methodsIn comparison with other in vivo imaging modalities, OCT can provide label-free assessment of cortical tissue including tissue morphology, cerebral blood vessel network and flow information down to capillary level, with a large field of view and high imaging speed.

conclusionsOCT angiography methods demonstrated the ability to measure the differences in the baseline morphological and flow parameters of both large and capillary cerebrovascular networks between awake and anesthetized mice.
