Usefulness of arterial spin labeling perfusion as an initial evaluation of status epilepticus.
Article in Scientific reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
This study aimed to evaluate the sensitivity and prognostic value of arterial spin labeling (ASL) in a large group of status epilepticus (SE) patients and compare them with those of other magnetic resonance (MR) sequences, including dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) perfusion imaging. We retrospectively collected data of patients with SE in a tertiary center between September 2016 and March 2020. MR images were visually assessed, and the sensitivity for the detection of SE and prognostication was compared among multi-delay ASL, DSC, fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR), and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI). We included 51 SE patients and 46 patients with self-limiting seizures for comparison. Relevant changes in ASL were observed in 90.2% (46/51) of SE patients, a percentage higher than those for DSC, FLAIR, and DWI. ASL was the most sensitive method for initial differentiation between SE and self-limiting seizures. The sensitivity of ASL for detecting refractory SE (89.5%) or estimating poor outcomes (100%) was higher than those of other MR protocols or electroencephalography and comparable to those of clinical prognostic scores, although the specificity of ASL was very low as 9.4% and 15.6%, respectively. ASL showed a better ability to detect SE and predict the prognosis than other MR sequences, therefore it can be valuable for the initial evaluation of patients with SE.
