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

objectivesThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the MRI characteristics of venous thrombus over set time thresholds with histopathological correlation in a porcine model.

methodsInferior vena cava thrombi were induced in 12 pigs. MRI was performed in three pigs 2 h, 1 day, 3 days and 2 weeks after thrombus induction.

resultsThe MRI characteristics were analysed in correlation with histopathological findings. The thrombi after 2 hours, which consisted of red blood cells (RBCs), showed isointensity on T(1 )weighted images (T(1)WIs) and hyperintensity on both T(2 )weighted images (T(2)WIs) and diffusion-weighted images (DWIs). The mean apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value was 1.93 × 10(-3) mm(2) s(-1). The thrombi after Day 1, which consisted of RBCs and migrating neutrophils at the periphery, showed isointensity on T(1)WIs, slight hyperintensity on T(2)WIs and hypointensity on DWIs. The mean ADC value was 1.62 × 10(-3) mm(2) s(-1) [corrected]. The thrombi after Day 3, which consisted of RBCs and peripheral inflammatory cells including macrophages, showed isointensity with peripheral hyperintense regions on T(1)WIs and hypointensity on both T(2)WIs and DWIs. The mean ADC value was 1.67 × 10(-3) mm(2) s(-1). After 2 weeks, the thrombi, which revealed RBC lysis surrounded by granulation tissues, showed isointensity on T(1)WIs and hyperintensity on T(2)WIs and DWIs. The mean ADC value was 2.48 × 10(-3) mm(2) s(-1).

conclusionThe temporal MRI characteristics seemed to be related to chemical and physical changes in RBC and organisation of granulation tissues. Free radicals generated by macrophages might also be related to some extent.
