The value of different magnetic resonance imaging sequences for the detection of intraventricular hemorrhages*.

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
purposeThe aim of this study was to determine the value of different magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences for the diagnosis of intraventricular hemorrhages (IVHs). PATIENTS AND
methodsThe study included 22 consecutive patients with computed tomography (CT) proven IVH in which an MR examination had been performed. Proton-density-(PD-), T2-, fluid-attenuated inversion-recovery (FLAIR), T1- and T2*-weighted images were evaluated retrospectively by two neuroradiologists regarding presence and anatomical distribution of IVH, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow artifacts. CT was used as gold standard.
resultsAccording to CT, IVH was located in the right/left lateral ventricles in 16/17 patients, in the third ventricle in seven and in the fourth ventricle in twelve cases. PD- and T2*-weighted images both showed a 100% sensitivity and specificity for the overall diagnosis of IVH, and a high sensitivity for the detection of IVH in all four ventricles. The sensitivity of T1-, T2- and FLAIR- weighted images for the overall presence of an IVH was 77%, 85%, and 93%, respectively, with specificities of 100%. CSF flow artifacts occurred predominantly in the third and fourth ventricles. While FLAIR- and T2-weighted sequences were especially prone to this phenomenon, T1-, T2*- and PD-weighted images showed a higher resistance to those artifacts.
conclusionThis study demonstrates a high sensitivity of PD- and T2*-weighted images in the detection of IVH. On the contrary, T2-, T1- and FLAIR-weighted sequences were not suitable for a reliable detection of IVH.
