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

Pharmacological MRI (phMRI) studies seek to capture changes in brain haemodynamics in response to a drug. This provides a methodological platform for the evaluation of novel therapeutics, and when applied to disease states, may provide diagnostic or mechanistic information pertaining to common brain disorders such as dementia. Changes to brain perfusion and blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier (BCSFB) function can be probed, non-invasively, by arterial spin labelling (ASL) and blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier arterial spin labelling (BCSFB-ASL) MRI respectively. Here, we introduce a method for simultaneous recording of pharmacological perturbation of brain perfusion and BCSFB function using interleaved echo-time ASL, applied to the anesthetized mouse brain. Using this approach, we capture an exclusive decrease in BCSFB-mediated delivery of arterial blood water to ventricular CSF, following anti-diuretic hormone, vasopressin, administration. The commonly used vasodilatory agent, CO
