Comparison of corticospinal tract integrity measures extracted from standard versus native space in chronic stroke.
Article in Journal of neuroscience methods, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundFractional anisotropy (FA) and mean diffusivity (MD) are measures derived from diffusion-weighted imaging that represent the integrity of the corticospinal tract (CST) after stroke. Some studies of the motor system after stroke extract FA and MD from native space while others extract from standard space making comparison across studies challenging. NEW
methodThe purpose was to compare CST integrity measures extracted from standard versus native space in individuals with chronic stroke. Twenty-four individuals with stroke underwent diffusion-weighted imaging and motor impairment assessment. The spatial location of the CST was identified using four commonly utilized approaches; therefore, our results are applicable to a variety of approaches.
resultsFA extracted from standard space (FA COMPARISON WITH EXISTING METHOD(S): Our study shows that extraction space influences diffusion-based microstructural integrity values (FA and MD) of the CST in individuals with stroke, which is important when considering methods for aggregating CST integrity data across studies. The relationship between CST integrity and motor impairment appears to be robust to extraction space.
conclusionsThe differences we identified are important for comparing FA and MD values across studies that use different extraction space. Our results provide context for future meta-analyses of diffusion-based metrics of CST integrity in individuals with stroke.
