Reduced BOLD-CSF coupling as a potential functional imaging correlate of semantic fluency decline in MRI-negative temporal lobe epilepsy.
Article in Frontiers in aging neuroscience, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: This study investigated neurovascular-cerebrospinal fluid dynamic interactions using blood-oxygen-level-dependent-cerebrospinal fluid (BOLD-CSF) coupling metrics and examined their associations with cognitive impairment in patients with MRI-negative unilateral temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Methods: In this retrospective study, 36 patients with MRI-negative unilateral TLE and 26 healthy controls (HCs) recruited during the same study period were enrolled. Resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) was used to quantify global BOLD-CSF (gBOLD-CSF) and temporal BOLD-CSF (tBOLD-CSF) coupling. Comprehensive neuropsychological assessments included the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST), Digit Span Test (DST), Block Design, Phonological Fluency Test (PFT), and semantic verbal fluency (SVF). Partial correlations and multivariable linear regression were performed to evaluate associations between imaging metrics and cognitive performance. Results: Compared with HCs, TLE patients showed significantly poorer performance on MoCA ( Discussion: Reduced tBOLD-CSF and gBOLD-CSF coupling may serve as functional imaging correlates of semantic network vulnerability in patients with MRI-negative TLE.
