Applicability of fractional anisotropy from standardized automated tractography for outcome prediction of patients after stroke.
Article in Journal of physical therapy science, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
[Purpose] Diffusion-tensor fractional anisotropy has been used for outcome prediction in stroke patients. We assessed the clinical applicability of the two major fractional anisotropy methodologies-fractional anisotropy derived from segmentation maps in the standard brain (region of interest) and fractional anisotropy derived from standardized automated tractography-in relation to outcomes. [Participants and Methods] The study design was a retrospective survey of medical records collected from October 2021 to September 2022. Diffusion-tensor imaging was conducted in the second week after stroke onset. Outcomes were assessed using the total score of the motor component of the Stroke Impairment Assessment Set (null to full, 0 to 25). Correlations between fractional anisotropy and the outcomes were then assessed. [Results] Fourteen patients with hemorrhagic stroke were sampled. The fractional anisotropy from standardized automated tractography of the corticospinal tract on the lesion side (mean ± standard deviation, 0.403 ± 0.070) was significantly and tightly correlated (
