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
Moyamoya disease (MMD) is characterized by progressive arterial occlusion, causing chronic hemodynamic impairment, which can reduce brain volume. A novel quantitative technique, synthetic magnetic resonance imaging (SyMRI), can evaluate brain volume. This study aimed to investigate whether brain volume measured with SyMRI correlated with cerebral blood flow (CBF) and brain function in adult MMD. In this retrospective study, 18 adult patients with MMD were included. CBF was measured using iodine-123-N-isopropyl-p-iodoamphetamine single photon emission computed tomography. Cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) to acetazolamide challenge was also evaluated. Brain function was measured using the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scales (WAIS)-III/IV and the WAIS-R tests. Gray matter (GM), white matter, and myelin-correlated volumes were evaluated in six areas. Resting CBF was positively correlated with GM fractions in the right anterior cerebral arterial and right middle cerebral arterial (MCA) territories. CVR was positively correlated with GM fraction in the right posterior cerebral arterial (PCA) territory. Full-Scale Intelligence Quotient and Verbal Comprehension Index scores were marginally positively correlated with GM fractions in the left PCA territory. Processing Speed Index score was marginally positively correlated with GM fraction in the right MCA territory. The SyMRI-measured territorial GM fraction correlated with CBF and brain function in patients with MMD.
