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
Most existing diffusion tractography algorithms are affected by gyral bias, causing the termination of streamlines at gyral crowns instead of sulcal banks. In this paper, we propose a tractography technique, called active cortex tractography (ACT), to overcome gyral bias by enabling fiber streamlines to curve naturally into the cortex. We show that the cortex can play an active role in cortical tractography by providing anatomical information to overcome orientation ambiguities as the streamlines enter the superficial white matter in gyral blades and approach the cortex. This is achieved by devising a direction scouting mechanism that takes into account the white matter surface normal vectors. The scouting mechanism allows probing of directions further in space to prepare the streamlines to turn at appropriate angles. The surface normal vectors guide the streamlines to turn into the cortex, perpendicular to the white-gray matter interface. Evaluation using synthetic, macaque and human data with different streamline seeding schemes demonstrates that ACT improves cortical tractography.
