Significance of developmental meningeal lymphatic dysfunction in experimental post-traumatic injury.
Article in Brain, behavior, & immunity - health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Understanding the pathological mechanisms unfolding after chronic traumatic brain injury (TBI) could reveal new therapeutic entry points. During the post-TBI sequel, the involvement of cerebrospinal fluid drainage through the meningeal lymphatic vessels was proposed. Here, we used K14-VEGFR3-Ig transgenic mice to analyze whether a developmental dysfunction of meningeal lymphatic vessels modifies post-TBI pathology. To this end, a moderate TBI was delivered by controlled cortical injury over the temporal lobe in male transgenic mice or their littermate controls. We performed MRI and a battery of behavioral tests over time to define the post-TBI trajectories. In vivo analyses were integrated by ex-vivo quantitative and morphometric examinations of the cortical lesion and glial cells. In post-TBI K14-VEGFR3-Ig mice, the recovery from motor deficits was protracted compared to littermates. This outcome is coherent with the observed slower hematoma clearance in transgenic mice during the first two weeks post-TBI. No other genotype-related behavioral differences were observed, and the volume of cortical lesions imaged by MRI
