Imaging evaluation and volumetric measurement of the space surrounding the diploic veins.
Article in Japanese journal of radiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeThe diploic veins have been suggested to be involved in the excretion of cerebrospinal fluid and intracranial waste products; however, to date, there have been no reports evaluating the space surrounding the diploic veins. Therefore, we aimed to visualize the distribution of gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCA) in the space surrounding the diploic veins and to evaluate the spatial characteristics. MATERIALS AND
methodsNinety-eight participants (aged 14-84 years) were scanned 4 h after intravenous GBCA injection at Nagoya University Hospital between April 2021 and December 2022. The volume of the space surrounding the diploic veins where the GBCA was distributed was measured using contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images with the application of three-axis motion-sensitized driven equilibrium. The parasagittal dura (PSD) volume adjacent to the superior sagittal sinus was also measured using the same images. Both volumes were corrected for intracranial volume. The correlation between age and the corrected volume was examined using Spearman's rank correlation coefficient; the relationship between the corrected volume and sex was assessed using the Mann-Whitney U test.
resultsA significant weak negative correlation was observed between the volume of the space surrounding the diploic veins and age (r = -0.330, p < 0.001). Furthermore, there was a significant weak positive correlation between the PSD volume and age (r = 0.385, p < 0.001). Both volumes were significantly greater in men than in women. There was no correlation between the volume of the space surrounding the diploic veins and the volume of the PSD.
conclusionThe volume of the space surrounding the diploic veins was measurable and, in contrast to the volume of the PSD, was greater in younger participants. This space may be related to intracranial excretory mechanisms and immune responses during youth, requiring further research.
