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

Chromium--Cr(VI) in the form of potassium dichromate--has been shown to specifically enhance white matter signal. The proposed mechanism for this enhancement is reduction of diamagnetic Cr(VI) to paramagnetic chromium species by oxidizable myelin lipids. The purpose of the study herein was to better understand the microanatomical basis of this enhancement (i.e., the relative enhancement of myelin, intra-axonal, and extra-axonal water). Toward this end, integrated T(1)-T(2) measurements were performed in potassium dichromate loaded (hereafter referred to as chromated) rat brains, rat optic nerve samples, and frog sciatic nerve samples ex vivo. In control optic nerve and white matter, two T(1)-T(2) components were resolved, representing myelin and nonmyelin water (intra- and extra-axonal water). Following chromation, three T(1)-T(2) components were resolved in these same tissues. Results from similar measurements in sciatic nerve-all three components are resolvable in control and chromated samples-and quantitative histologic analysis suggest that this additional T(1)-T(2) component is due to a splitting of the nonmyelin water component into intra- and extra-axonal water components. This compartment-specific enhancement may provide unique contrast for MR histology, as well as allow one to probe the compartmental basis of various contrast mechanisms in neural tissue.
