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

Objective: The aim of our study was to investigate the role of three-dimensional arterial spin labeling (3D-ASL) perfusion in the diagnosis and follow-up of children with viral encephalitis. Methods: Twenty-five consecutive children with viral encephalitis and 25 healthy children of similar age were recruited for the study between 2017 and 2020. Conventional magnetic resonance imaging and 3D-ASL were performed for all subjects, and a color map of cerebral blood flow (CBF) was generated. The images were classified into three groups depending on the time points at which the magnetic resonance examinations were conducted, including the initial admission scan, inpatient review, and follow-up review. Clinical, neuroradiologic, and follow-up features were studied.The CBF values of the lesion area in the diseased brain group and the bilateral temporal cortex in the control group were measured and the differences between the two groups were compared. Results: Perfusion was significantly increased in the acute cerebral disease group, and CBF and normalized cerebral blood flow(nCBF) were significantly higher than in the control group (124.5 vs 70.3 mL/100 g/min, 2.85 vs 1.36). Follow-up revealed that brain tissue perfusion in the lesion area of nine children decreased gradually after treatment, as their condition improved. Conclusion: Brain tissue perfusion in children with viral encephalitis increases during the acute stage and decreases when the condition improves. 3D-ASL provides a reference for diagnosis and follow-up of viral encephalitis in children.
