DTI-ALPS Index Meta-Analysis for Type 2 Diabetes Glymphatic Function

532 participants from seven studies comparing glymphatic-related DTI-ALPS indices in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus and healthy controls. The dataset was created by Yaxi Chen and uploaded to figshare in May 2026. It includes meta-analysis results for subgroups of uncomplicated and complicated T2DM.

Use Cases

• Meta-analysis of glymphatic function imaging biomarkers based on DTI-ALPS index comparisons
• Subgroup analysis of clinical phenotypes based on T2DM complication status
• Assessment of heterogeneity in neuroimaging findings based on pooled effect sizes and I² statistics

Strengths

• Includes data from 532 participants across seven studies
• Provides subgroup analysis distinguishing uncomplicated and complicated T2DM
• Uses random-effects meta-analysis models with HKSJ adjustment

Limitations

• Dataset size is 5.5 KB, indicating a very limited scope of aggregated results
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
