Perivascular Spaces, Glymphatic System and MR.
Review in Frontiers in neurology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 67 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
The importance of the perivascular space (PVS) as one of the imaging markers of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) has been widely appreciated by the neuroradiologists. The PVS surrounds the small blood vessels in the brain and has a signal consistent with the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) on MR. In a variety of physio-pathological statuses, the PVS may expand. The discovery of the cerebral glymphatic system has provided a revolutionary perspective to elucidate its pathophysiological mechanisms. Research on the function and pathogenesis of this system has become a prevalent topic among neuroradiologists. It is now believed that this system carries out the similar functions as the lymphatic system in other parts of the body and plays an important role in the removal of metabolic waste and the maintenance of homeostatic fluid circulation in the brain. In this article, we will briefly describe the composition of the cerebral glymphatic system, the influencing factors, the MR manifestations of the PVS and the related imaging technological advances. The aim of this research is to provide a reference for future clinical studies of the PVS and glymphatic system.
