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
Intracranial compliance (ICC) refers to the change in intracranial volume per unit change in intracranial pressure (ICP). Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) quantifies brain stiffness by measuring the shear modulus. Our objective is to investigate the relationship between ICC and brain stiffness through fluid-structure interaction (FSI) simulation, and to explore the feasibility of using MRE to assess ICC based on brain stiffness. This is invaluable due to the clinical importance of ICC, as well as the fast and non-invasive nature of the MRE procedure. We employed FSI simulation in hydrocephalus patients with aqueductal stenosis to non-invasively calculate ICP which is the basis of the calculation of ICC and FSI-based brain stiffness. The FSI simulated parameters used have been validated with experimental data. Our results showed that there is no relationship between FSI simulated-based brain stiffness and ICC in hydrocephalus patients. However, MRE-based brain stiffness may be sensitive to changes in intracranial fluid dynamic parameters such as cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP), cerebral blood flow (CBF), and ICP, as well as to mechano-vascular changes in the brain, which are determining parameters in ICC assessment. Although optimism has been found regarding the assessment of ICC using MRE-based brain stiffness, especially for acute-onset brain disorders, further studies are necessary to clarify their direct relationship.
