Imaging of the superficial white matter in health and disease.
Article in Imaging neuroscience (Cambridge, Mass.), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
The superficial white matter, the layer of white matter immediately deep to the cortical grey matter, is a highly complex, heterogeneous tissue region comprising dense meshes of neural fibres, a robust population of interstitial neurons, and ongoing glial activity and myelination. It originates from the histologically distinct, developmentally vital subplate in the foetal brain, maintains thalamo-cortical connections throughout adult life, and is a necessary passage for all axons passing between the grey and white matter. Despite these features, the superficial white matter is among the most poorly understood regions of the brain, in part due to its complex makeup and the resulting difficulty of its study. In this review, we present our current knowledge of superficial white matter (SWM) anatomy, development, and response to disease. We discuss the unique challenges encountered in the neuroimaging of this region, including the lack of standard definition and the non-specificity of neuroimaging markers amplified by the complexity of the tissue. We discuss recent innovations and offer potential pathways forward.
