The Evaluation Value of Diffusion-Weighted Imaging for Brain Injury in Patients after Deep Hypothermic Circulatory Arrest.
Article in Contrast media & molecular imaging, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Objective: Cerebral complications may occur after surgery with deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA). Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) has shown promising results in detecting early changes of cerebral ischemia. However, studies in human models are limited. Here, we examined the significance of DWI for detecting brain injury in postoperative patients after DHCA. Methods: Twelve patients who had undergone selective cerebral perfusion with DHCA were enrolled. All patients underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations before and after the operation with T1-weighted phase (T1W) and T2-weighted phase (T2W). Magnetic resonance angiography (3D TOF) was applied to observe intracranial arterial communication situations. DWI was employed to calculate the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values. The neurocognitive function of patients was assessed preoperatively and postoperatively using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (MoCA), Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD), and Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA). Results: The ADC values of the whole brain of patients after surgery were significantly higher than before surgery ( Conclusion: DHCA demonstrated no significant effect on the cognitive function of patients but could affect the mood of patients. On the other hand, DWI demonstrated promising efficiency and accuracy in evaluating brain injury after DHCA.
