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

objectiveTo study the orientational dependencies of T(2) and T(1ρ) in native and trypsin-degraded bovine nasal cartilage, with and without the presence of 1 mM Gd-DTPA(2-). MATERIALS AND

methodsSixteen specimens were prepared in two orthogonal fibril directions (parallel and perpendicular), treated using different protocols (native, Gd treated, trypsin-treated, and combination), and imaged using μMRI at 0° and 55° (the magic angle) fibril orientations with respect to the magnetic field B(0). Two-dimensional (2D) T(2) and T(1ρ) images were then calculated quantitatively.

resultsWithout Gd, native perpendicular tissues demonstrated significant T(1ρ) dispersion (including T(2) at the zero spin-lock field) at 0° and less dispersion at 55°, while native parallel specimens exhibited smaller T(1ρ) dispersion at both 0° and 55°. Trypsin degradation caused a minimum 50% increase in T(1ρ). With Gd, trypsin degradation caused significant reduction in T(1ρ) values up to 60%.

conclusionThe collagen orientation in nasal cartilage can influence T(2) and T(1ρ) MRI of cartilage. Without Gd, T(1ρ) was sensitive to the proteoglycan content and its sensitivity was nearly constant regardless of fibril orientation. In comparison, the T(2) sensitivity to proteoglycan was dependant upon fibril orientation, i.e., more sensitive at 55° than 0°. When Gd ions were present, both T(2) and T(1ρ) became insensitive to the proteoglycan content.
