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
Background: Whether the effect of post-labeling delay (PLD) on cerebral blood flow (CBF) is influenced by age and sex in adults is unknown. In this study, we mainly aimed to explore the potential influence of age and sex on the effect of PLD on CBF. Methods: This prospective study enrolled 90 healthy adult volunteers (49.47±15.63 years of age; age range, 20-77 years; 47 female; 43 male). All participants underwent 3-dimensional (3D) pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling (ASL) imaging with 3 different PLDs (1,525, 2,025, and 2,525 ms). The CBF values for each PLD, the arterial transit time (ATT), and the spatial coefficient of variation (spatial CoV) were computed for 21 regions of interest (ROIs) in every participant. Multivariate regression analysis was conducted to assess the potential influence of age and sex on the effect of PLD on CBF and the relationships among CBF, ATT, PLD, age, sex, and spatial CoV. Results: The CBF increased for 7.32 to 9.87 mL/100 g/min as the PLD increased per 1 second in the global gray matter, bilateral frontal, temporal lobes, the vascular territories of bilateral anterior and middle carotid artery. When the age increased per 1 year, the speed of the changes for CBF decreased for 0.26 to 0.3 mL/100 g/min/s in these regions. However, the CBF decreased for 12 to 17 mL/100 g/min as the PLD increased per 1 second in the bilateral limbic lobes, insula, and deep gray matter. In these regions, the speed of the changes for CBF increased for 0.2 to 0.28 mL/100 g/min/s as the age increased per 1 year. Furthermore, compared to the female, the speed of the changes for CBF decreased for 3.58 to 4.6 mL/100 g/min/s for the male in global gray matter, bilateral frontal, limbic lobes, and the vascular territories of bilateral anterior carotid artery, and the speed increased 4.49 to 5.09 mL/100 g/min/s for the male in the limbic lobes. In addition, the CBF decreased with aging and the CBF tended to be higher in females compared to males. At the same time, we found that the ATT of all ROIs increased with age and manifested higher in males than females. Moreover, we found that CBF decreased with the increase of ATT, and the effect of ATT on CBF was less influenced by PLD. Finally, we found that the spatial CoV of ASL in certain regions increased with the increase of ATT and age, and was greater in males. Conclusions: The effect of PLD on CBF can be influenced by age and sex. The relationships among CBF, ATT, PLD, age, sex, and spatial CoV found in this study may have certain significance for the study of ASL imaging in the future.
