1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Brain waste is largely cleared via diffusion and advection in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). CSF flows through a pathway referred to as the glymphatic system, which is also being targeted for delivering drugs to the brain. Despite the importance of solute transport, no brain-wide models for predicting clearance and delivery through perivascular pathways and adjacent parenchyma existed. We devised such a model by upgrading an existing model of CSF flow in the mouse brain to additionally solve advection-diffusion equations, thereby estimating solute transport. We simulated steady-state transport of 3 kDa dextran injected proximal to the perivascular space (PVS) of the middle cerebral artery, mimicking
