1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the paravascular spaces of the surface arteries (sPVS) is a vital pathway in brain waste clearance. Arterial pulsations may be the driving force of the paravascular flow, but its pulsatile pattern remains poorly characterized, and no clinically practical method for measuring its dynamics in the human brain is available. In this work, we introduce an imaging and quantification framework for in-vivo non-invasive assessment of pulsatile fluid dynamics in the sPVS. It used dynamic Diffusion-Weighted Imaging (dDWI) at a lower b-values of 150s/mm
