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

Blood vessel morphology (vessel radius, branching pattern, and tortuosity) is altered by a multitude of diseases. Although murine models of human pathology are important to the investigation of many diseases, there are few publications that address quantitative measurements of murine vascular morphology. This report outlines methods of imaging mice in vivo using magnetic resonance angiograms obtained on a clinical 3T unit, of defining mouse vasculature from these images, and of quantifying measures of vessel shape. We provide examples of both healthy and diseased vasculature and illustrate how the approach can be used to assess pathology both visually and quantitatively. The method is amenable to the assessment of many diseases in both human beings and mice.
