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

The purpose was to assess the potential of half Fourier diffusion-weighted single-shot STEAM MRI for diffusion tensor mapping of animal brain in vivo. A STEAM sequence with image acquisition times of about 500 ms was implemented at 2.35 T using six gradient orientations and b values of 200, 700, and 1200 s mm(-2). The use of half Fourier phase-encoding increased the signal-to-noise ratio by 45% relative to full Fourier acquisitions. Moreover, STEAM-derived maps of the relative anisotropy and main diffusion direction were completely free of susceptibility-induced signal losses and geometric distortions. Within measuring times of 3 h, the achieved resolution varied from 600x700x1000 microm3 for squirrel monkeys to 140x280x720 microm3 for mice. While in monkeys the accessible white matter fiber connections were comparable to those reported for humans, detectable fiber structures in mice focused on the corpus callosum, anterior commissure, and hippocampal fimbria. In conclusion diffusion-weighted single-shot STEAM MRI allows for in vivo diffusion tensor mapping of the brain of squirrel monkeys, rats, and mice without motion artifacts and susceptibility distortions.
