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

Aim: This study aimed to characterize regional alterations in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) microdynamics following mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) using intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and compare Methods: In this prospective observational study, 14 patients with mild TBI and 14 healthy volunteers underwent IVIM MRI using a 3-Tesla scanner. The Results: The TBI group exhibited a significantly higher mean Conclusion: Mild TBI may be associated with region-specific alterations in CSF microdynamics, characterized by increased motion in the CPA and exploratory reductions in selected supratentorial regions. Although preliminary, these findings highlight the potential of IVIM MRI as a complementary tool for investigating post-traumatic abnormalities in CSF motion.
