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
Measuring regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) after revascularization for moyamoya disease, as a type of ischemic cerebrovascular disease, is crucial. This study aims to validate our novel technology that combines near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) with a frequency filter to extract the arterial component. We measured rCBF before and after revascularization for moyamoya disease and at the end of the surgery using NIRO-200NX (Hamamatsu Photonics, Japan) and indocyanine green (ICG). rCBF was calculated using Fick's principle, change in arterial ICG concentrations, and maximum arterial ICG concentration. rCBF measured with NIRS (rCBF_N) was compared with pre- and postoperative rCBF measured with SPECT (rCBF_S). Thirty-four procedures were analyzed. rCBF_N increased from baseline to end of the surgery (mean difference (MD), 2.99 ml/min/100 g; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.40-5.57 ml/min/100 g on the diseased side; MD, 4.94 ml/min/100 g; 95% CI, 2.35-7.52 ml/min/100 g on the non-diseased side). Similar trends were observed for rCBF_S (MD, 3.98 ml/min/100 g; 95% CI, 2.30-5.67 ml/min/100 g on the diseased side; MD, 2.77 ml/min/100 g; 95% CI, 1.09-4.45 ml/min/100 g on the non-diseased side). Intraclass correlations 3 (ICC3s) between rCBF_N and rCBF_S were weak on the diseased side (ICC3, 0.25; 95% CI, -0.03-0.5; p = 0.07) and the non-diseased side (ICC3, 0.24; 95% CI, -0.05-0.5; p = 0.08). rCBF measurements based on this novel method were weakly correlated with rCBF measurements with SPECT.
