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

Background Given the current lack of widely adopted strategies for facilitating drug penetration into the brain, developing new techniques to increase blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability is essential to address the increasing burden of central nervous system disorders. Osmotic blood-brain barrier opening (OBBBO), achieved through intra-arterial delivery of 25% mannitol to the cerebral vasculature, is a pioneering strategy demonstrating both safety and partial efficacy. Purpose To investigate the potential of 25% mannitol with 4% NaCl, a combination that doubles the osmotic power, to safely increase OBBBO efficacy. Materials and Methods To visualize penetration into the brain, OBBBO with intra-arterial, intravenous, or intraperitoneal infusion of molecules was performed in mice (
