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

Waste solutes are cleared from the brain via outflow of interstitial fluid (ISF). Blood-brain barrier (BBB) water secretion and inflow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) via perivascular channels have been suggested as potential fluid sources to replace outflowing ISF. To assess the role of CSF inflow in brain clearance, we measured both CSF inflow and ISF outflow in ketamine/dexmedetomidine anesthetized rats. We used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) to track tracer flows after infusion in CSF or ISF. CSF inflow was estimated at 0.5-0.7 μL g
