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

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complicated disease characterized by heterogeneous pathology that varies across individuals. Accurate identification and quantification of pathological changes may facilitate a better understanding of disease pathogenesis and progression and help identify novel therapies for MS patients. Texture analysis evaluates interpixel relationships that generate characteristic organizational patterns in an image, many of which are beyond the ability of visual perception. Given its promise detecting subtle structural alterations texture analysis may be an attractive means to evaluate disease activity and evolution. It may also become a new tool to assess therapeutic efficacy if technique issues are resolved and pathological correlates are further confirmed. This paper describes the concept, strategies, and considerations of MRI texture analysis; summarizes applications of texture analysis in MS as a measure of tissue integrity and its clinical relevance; then discusses potentially future directions of texture analysis in MS.
