Prominent hyperintense areas in swollen optic pathway: An indicator of congestive glymphatic pathway?
Article in Radiology case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
A 34-year-old woman presented with progressive visual impairment for 2 months. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a suprasellar cyst. The patient underwent endoscopic endonasal surgery, which resulted in gross total resection with a diagnosis of craniopharyngioma. Postoperatively, the patient's visual function improved. The constructive interference steady-state (CISS) sequence revealed a remarkable resolution of hyperintense areas in the swollen optic nerve and tract. A 36-year-old woman sustained an abrupt visual loss. She had been diagnosed with cavernous malformations (CMs) in the right frontal lobe and suprasellar region 11 years ago, with an intact optic tract. Cerebral MRI at presentation revealed marked enlargement of the suprasellar CM and swelling of the right optic tract, accompanied by predominant hyperintense areas in the optic pathway. The patient's visual function showed significant improvement with conservative management. The CISS sequence performed 3 months later showed remarkable resolution of hyperintensity in the optic pathway. Prominent hyperintense areas in the optic pathway may indicate congestion of glymphatic flow. Reduction in such areas may be a radiological biomarker reflecting the improvement of visual impairment.
