Beyond Venous Inflammation: Vessel Wall Imaging of Intracranial Arteries in Neuro-Behçet's Syndrome.

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
backgroundNeuro-Behçet syndrome (NBS) is a heterogeneous inflammatory disorder in which venous involvement is well recognized, while intracranial arterial pathology remains insufficiently characterized. Conventional luminal imaging methods are limited in detecting early or isolated arterial wall abnormalities. Vessel wall imaging (VWI) may provide additional insights into arterial involvement in NBS.
methodsThirty-nine NBS patients (27 men, 12 women; mean age 38.52 ± 9.54 years) underwent intracranial VWI; 16 were imaged during the attack period and 23 during the attack-free period. A total of 1170 artery segments were systematically evaluated for wall thickening patterns and contrast enhancement. VWI findings were analyzed in relation to imaging timing, radiological subtype, MR angiography findings, and EDSS.
resultsVessel wall involvement was found in 16 patients (41%), mainly in the posterior circulation (81%). Concentric wall thickening without enhancement was the most common pattern (80.48%). Vessel wall involvement was significantly more frequent in patients imaged during the attack period compared with those imaged in the attack-free period (68.8% vs. 21.7%; p = 0.007). Vessel wall enhancement was present only in the attack period (p = 0.022). Notably, higher EDSS scores were significantly associated with multisegmental posterior circulation involvement, particularly when ≥ 3 segments were affected (p = 0.015; p = 0.024).
conclusionIntracranial arterial wall involvement is detectable by VWI in a substantial proportion of NBS patients, predominantly in the posterior circulation with a concentric thickening pattern. These findings suggest that arterial wall pathology may be more common than previously recognized and that VWI provides complementary diagnostic information beyond conventional luminal imaging.
