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

purposeTo use manganese-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MEMRI) at 25 × 25 × 800 μm(3) to image different retinal and vascular layers in the rat retinas. MATERIALS AND

methodsManganese-chloride was injected intraocularly in normal (n = 5) and Royal College of Surgeons (RCS, an model of photoreceptor degeneration) (n = 5) rats at postnatal day 90. MEMRI at 4.7 T was performed 24 hours later. MRI was repeated following intravenous Gd-DTPA in the same animals to highlight the vasculatures. Layer assignment and thickness were compared to histology.

resultsMEMRI 24 hours after intravitreal manganese-chloride injection revealed seven bands of alternating hyper- and hypointensities, corresponding histologically to the ganglion cell layer, inner plexiform layer, inner nuclear layer, outer plexiform layer, outer nuclear layer, photoreceptor-segment layer, and choroidal vascular layer. Intravenous Gd-DTPA-which does not cross the blood-retinal barrier and the retinal pigment epithelium-further enhanced the two layers bounding the retina, corresponding to the retinal and choroidal vascular layers, but not the avascular outer nuclear layer and the photoreceptor-segment layer. MEMRI of the RCS retinas revealed the loss of the outer plexiform layer, outer nuclear layer, and photoreceptor-segment layer. Histological analysis corroborated the MRI laminar assignments and thicknesses.

conclusionLamina-specific retinal structures neurodegenerative changes to structure in retinal diseases can be detected using MEMRI.
