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

Neurofluids, a recently developed term that refers to interstitial fluids in the parenchyma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the ventricle and subarachnoid space, play a role in draining waste products from the brain. Neurofluids have been implicated in pathological conditions such as Alzheimer's disease and normal pressure hydrocephalus. Given that CSF moves faster in the CSF cavity than in the brain parenchyma, CSF motion can be detected by magnetic resonance imaging. CSF motion is synchronized to the heartbeat and respiratory cycle, but respiratory cycle-induced CSF motion has yet to be investigated in detail. Therefore, we analyzed CSF motion using dynamic improved motion-sensitized driven-equilibrium steady-state free precession-based analysis. We analyzed CSF motion linked to the respiratory cycle in four women and six men volunteers aged 23 to 38 years. We identified differences between free respiration and tasked respiratory cycle-associated CSF motion in the ventricles and subarachnoid space. Our results indicate that semi-quantitative analysis can be performed using the cranial site at which CSF motion is most prominent as a standard. Our findings may serve as a reference for elucidating the pathophysiology of diseases caused by abnormalities in neurofluids.
