Role of meningeal lymphatic vessels in brain homeostasis.
Synthesis in Frontiers in immunology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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
Meningeal lymphatic vessels (MLVs) form an important bridging structure between the brain and periphery, which drains cerebral metabolites in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and brain antigens to deep cervical lymph nodes (dCLNs), to maintain brain homeostasis. Increasing evidence reveals the importance of MLVs in brain ageing and various central nervous system (CNS) diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), traumatic brain injury (TBI), and multiple sclerosis (MS). Advances in research techniques have provided detailed insights into the structure and functions of MLVs, highlighting the therapeutic potential of targeting MLVs for related diseases. Here, we perform a systematic review of the features and functional regulation of MLVs, their associations with brain disorders, as well as some methodological advances in imaging of MLVs and the drainage pathway.
