Glymphatic system function in patients with ischemic stroke evaluated by the DTI-ALPS method: a comprehensive review.
Review in Frontiers in neurology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 glymphatic system is a glial-dependent waste clearance pathway in the central nervous system (CNS) of vertebrates that exploits the perivascular compartment between the vascular basement membrane (outermost wall of blood vessels) and astrocytic vascular endfeet to facilitate exchange between cerebrospinal fluid and interstitial solutes throughout the brain. This intricate network plays a vital role in the efficient elimination of metabolic waste and the regulation of water transport within the brain. Ischemic stroke, characterized by interrupted or reduced blood supply to a specific region of the brain, is a major cause of disability and mortality. Impairment of the glymphatic system is implicated in the pathophysiological process of stroke, including disruption of the blood-brain barrier, formation of cerebral edema, induction of neuroinflammation, and accumulation of neurotoxic factors. Various studies have demonstrated asymmetry and impairment of glymphatic function during ischemic stroke. Diffusion tensor image analysis along the perivascular space (DTI-ALPS) using diffusion magnetic resonance imaging is an effective method for evaluating glymphatic system function by examining interstitial fluid dynamics within the human brain. In this study, we provide an overview of putative mechanisms mediating the role of the glymphatic system in ischemic stroke pathophysiology, with a strong focus on discussing DTI-ALPS applications in assessing changes in glymphatic function following an ischemic stroke.
