Sensitivity and specificity of vessel wall MRI sequences to diagnose central nervous system angiitis.
Article in Frontiers in stroke, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with intracranial vessel wall (IVW) sequences is able to directly characterize disease processes affecting the VW increasing the accuracy of intracranial vasculopathies differential diagnosis. Nevertheless, data concerning the specificity and sensitivity of this technic for diagnosis of angiitis of the central nervous system (ACNS) are scant. We aimed at quantifying the IVW abnormalities in a cohort of primary and secondary ACNS and assessing the specificity of ACNS-associated IVW MRI abnormalities. We retrospectively included 36 patients with a diagnosis of ACNS with IVW imaging and we compared IVW MRI abnormalities with those of fifty successive patients admitted at the stroke unit for acute neurological deficit (stroke-unit-group). Since an ACNS was retained as cause of the acute neurological deficit in two patients in the stroke-unit-group, they were finally included in the ACNS group. In our cohort, headache and cognitive disorders were present in 29 and 55% of cases respectively, seizure were rare (
