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

purposeOur purpose was to compare quantitatively velocity fields in and around experimental canine aneurysms as measured using an accelerated 4D PC-MR angiography (MRA) method and calculated based on animal-specific CFD simulations.

methodsTwo animals with a surgically created bifurcation aneurysm were imaged using an accelerated 4D PC-MRA method. Meshes were created based on the geometries obtained from the PC-MRA and simulations using "subject-specific" pulsatile velocity waveforms and geometries were then solved using a commercial CFD solver. Qualitative visual assessments and quantitative comparisons of the time-resolved velocity fields obtained from the PC-MRA measurements and the CFD simulations were performed using a defined similarity metric combining both angular and magnitude differences of vector fields.

resultsPC-MRA and image-based CFD not only yielded visually consistent representations of 3D streamlines in and around both aneurysms, but also showed good agreement with regard to the spatial velocity distributions. The estimated similarity between time-resolved velocity fields from both techniques was reasonably high (mean value >0.60; one being the highest and zero being the lowest). Relative differences in inflow and outflow zones among selected planes were also reasonable (on the order of 10%-20%). The correlation between CFD-calculated and PC-MRA-measured time-averaged wall shear stresses was low (0.22 and 0.31, p < 0.001).

conclusionsIn two experimental canine aneurysms, PC-MRA and image-based CFD showed favorable agreement in intra-aneurismal velocity fields. Combining these two complementary techniques likely will further improve the ability to characterize and interpret the complex flow that occurs in human intracranial aneurysms.
