White-Matter Lesions and Cortical Cerebral Blood Flow Evaluation by 3D Arterial Spin-Labeled Perfusion MRI in Asymptomatic Divers: Correlation with Patent Foramen Ovale Ocurrence.

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
Cerebral white-matter lesions (cWML) can be caused by dilation of Virchow-Robin spaces or may correspond to true lacunar ischemic lesions. The aim of our study was to evaluate in asymptomatic divers the relationship between the presence of patent foramen ovale (PFO) and cWML, as well as their possible effects on cortical cerebral blood flow (CBF) by magnetic resonance (MRI) through the arterial spin labeling (ASL) sequence. Transthoracic echocardiography was performed for the identification of PFO, and cerebral magnetic resonance including the 3D-ASL sequence for CBF quantification. Thirty-eight divers, with a mean age 45.8 ± 8.6 years, were included. Nineteen healthy volunteers, mean age 41 ± 15.2 years, served as the control group. A total of 28.9% of divers had completed more than 1000 dives. It was found that 26.3% of divers presented with PFO in the echocardiographic study. cWML was evidenced in 10.5% of diver MRI studies. There was no statistically significant relationship between the presence of PFO and cWML (
