Quantifying the relationship between spreading depolarization and perivascular cerebrospinal fluid flow.
Article in Scientific reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Recent studies have linked spreading depolarization (SD, an electro-chemical wave in the brain following stroke, migraine, traumatic brain injury, and more) with increase in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow through the perivascular spaces (PVSs, annular channels lining the brain vasculature). We develop a novel computational model that couples SD and CSF flow. We first use high order numerical simulations to solve a system of physiologically realistic reaction-diffusion equations which govern the spatiotemporal dynamics of ions in the extracellular and intracellular spaces of the brain cortex during SD. We then couple the SD wave with a 1D CSF flow model that captures the change in cross-sectional area, pressure, and volume flow rate through the PVSs. The coupling is modelled using an empirical relationship between the excess potassium ion concentration in the extracellular space following SD and the vessel radius. We find that the CSF volumetric flow rate depends intricately on the length and width of the PVS, as well as the vessel radius and the angle of incidence of the SD wave. We derive analytical expressions for pressure and volumetric flow rates of CSF through the PVS for a given SD wave and quantify CSF flow variations when two SD waves collide. Our numerical approach is very general and could be extended in the future to obtain novel, quantitative insights into how CSF flow in the brain couples with slow waves, functional hyperemia, seizures, or externally applied neural stimulations.
