Diffusion tensor imaging assessments to investigate motor impairment recovery after minor basal ganglia hemorrhage post-stereotactic surgery.

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
Objective: To investigate the efficacy of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in assessing the motor impairment resulting from minor basal ganglia hemorrhage post-stereotactic surgery. Methods: A total of 104 patients with minor basal ganglia hemorrhages (hematoma volume ≤15 ml) underwent DTI within 48 h and 1 month post-treatment. Patients were divided into two groups: 42 in the experimental group, receiving stereotactic surgery and medication, and 62 in the control group, receiving medication alone. The corticospinal tract (CST) of the posterior limb of the internal capsule was the region of interest (ROI) for assessing mean FA values on both sides. Fugl-Meyer motor function (FMF) scores were recorded within 48 h and 1 month post-treatment, and Modified Rankin Scale (MRS) scores at 6 months. Results: After 1 month of treatment, the FA values and FMF scores for the affected side of patients in the experimental group were 0.34 ± 0.17 and 67.84 ± 4.72, respectively, significantly surpassing those of the control group, which were 0.21 ± 0.06 and 45.38 ± 2.25 ( Conclusion: DTI can accurately evaluate the structural integrity of the CST in patients with minor basal ganglia hemorrhages following stereotactic surgery, particularly regarding the CST pathways involved in motor control, providing valuable guidance for clinical treatment.
