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: The presence of an arteriovenous malformation in the brain (bAVM) induces hemodynamic changes, namely chronic hypoperfusion, loss of autoregulation and venous congestion, leading to blood-brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction. Conversely, bAVM treatment is thought to modify this longstanding hemodynamic condition abruptly, potentially leading to adverse responses in the surrounding brain. We designed and validated a murine model that mimics the hypoperfusion-reperfusion effect of bAVM and assessed BBB changes with dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI). Objective: The goal is to explore perfusion alterations during bAVM progression and after surgical intervention, using DCE-MRI to track changes in real time. Methods: Cerebral hypoperfusion and venous congestion were induced in rats by bilateral external carotid artery ligation and unilateral jugular-carotid anastomosis. 21 days were allowed for chronic adaptative changes, then the fistula was closed by jugular ligation for reperfusion. Neurological examination and MRI were performed at 1, 7, and 21 days of evolution and 24 h after ligation. DCE findings was confirmed by IgG immunofluorescence. Results: MRI observations confirmed that the model successfully replicates arterial hypoperfusion and venous hypertension without signs of malignant oedema or ischemia. Neurofunctional assessment showed a progressive neurological decline with a tendency to improvement after shunt ligation. DCE-MRI showed progressive BBB disruption and restoration after ligation, objectively quantified by increases in Ktrans values. Similar results were obtained by immunofluorescence analysis. Conclusion: Our model provides a dynamic platform to investigate cerebral perfusion changes associated with bAVM progression and surgical resolution, offering novel insights into disease mechanisms and potential therapeutic strategies.
