Spatial Similarity of MRI-Visible Perivascular Spaces in Healthy Young Adult Twins.
Article in Yonsei medical journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeThis study aimed to determine whether genetic factors affect the location of dilated perivascular spaces (dPVS) by comparing healthy young twins and non-twin (NT) siblings. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 700 healthy young adult twins and NT siblings [138 monozygotic (MZ) twin pairs, 79 dizygotic (DZ) twin pairs, and 133 NT sibling pairs] were collected from the Human Connectome Project dataset. dPVS was automatically segmented and normalized to standard space. Then, spatial similarity indices [mean squared error (MSE), structural similarity (SSIM), and dice similarity (DS)] were calculated for dPVS in the basal ganglia (BGdPVS) and white matter (WMdPVS) between paired subjects before and after propensity score matching of dPVS volumes between groups. Within-pair correlations for the regional volumes of dVPS were also assessed using the intraclass correlation coefficient.
resultsThe spatial similarity of dPVS was significantly higher in MZ twins [higher DS (median, 0.382 and 0.310) and SSIM (0.963 and 0.887) and lower MSE (0.005 and 0.005) for BGdPVS and WMdPVS, respectively] than in DZ twins [DS (0.121 and 0.119), SSIM (0.941 and 0.868), and MSE (0.010 and 0.011)] and NT siblings [DS (0.106 and 0.097), SSIM (0.924 and 0.848), and MSE (0.016 and 0.017)]. No significant difference was found between DZ twins and NT siblings. Similar results were found even after the subjects were matched according to dPVS volume. Regional dPVS volumes were also more correlated within pairs in MZ twins than in DZ twins and NT siblings.
conclusionOur results suggest that genetic factors affect the location of dPVS.
