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

This study aimed to investigate the diagnostic value of combined glutamate chemical exchange saturation transfer (GluCEST) imaging and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-edited proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy ( Results: GluCEST-derived hippocampal asymmetry [DAIglu_H(epi)] effectively lateralized epileptogenic foci (AUC = 0.86). The DRES patients exhibited elevated DAIglu_H (adjusted Conclusion: Multimodal 5T MRI integrating GluCEST and GABA-MRS provides a clinically feasible tool for lateralizing epileptogenic foci and stratifying drug resistance in TLE. The observed excitatory-inhibitory imbalance dynamics suggest distinct neurometabolic profiles underlying DR and DRES, advancing personalized therapeutic strategies.
