Due to difference in anatomical definitions, population variability and tractography methods, it will not be possible to standardize brain tractography for users, or will it?
Review in Brain structure & function, 2025. 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
Standardization of diffusion MRI tractography remains a major challenge due to variability in anatomical definitions, subject-specific white matter organization, pathology, acquisition protocols, and tractography methods. This short communication summarizes the key points of a debate on the limitations and opportunities in standardizing tractography across basic research and clinical settings held at the 2024 Tract-Anat Retreat. While full harmonization may be infeasible, there is optimism given the high performance of many current tractography methods, their demonstrated utility in multiple applications, and flexibility for adapting to the previously mentioned variabilities. Ultimately, what will be best will depend on the brain region and application, thereby reflecting the need for multiple dedicated standardized protocols.
