MR diagnosis of vertebral artery dissection: value of 3D time-of-flight and true fast imaging with steady-state precession fusion imaging.
Article in Insights into imaging, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesWe hypothesized that 3D time-of-flight (TOF) and true fast imaging with steady-state precession (true-FISP) fusion imaging could provide more information regarding the arterial vessel wall. The purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy of lesion detection and the diagnostic confidence of VAD between TOF images alone and fused TOF and true-FISP images.
methodsFifty patients were studied: 17 had VAD and 33 had vertebral artery hypoplasia. Fusion images of the vertebral artery were reconstructed using a workstation. A receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was conducted with a continuous rating scale from 1 to 100 to compare observer performance in VAD detection. Five radiologists participated in the observer performance test, and their performances with TOF images were compared with those using fused images.
resultThe observers found that the mean areas under the best-fit ROC curve for TOF images alone and fused TOF images were 0.66 ± 0.05 and 0.93 ± 0.04, which were significantly different (P < 0.01).
conclusionThe fusion images provided more information regarding the arterial vessel wall. Fused images aided distinction between vertebral artery dissection versus vertebral artery hypoplasia. KEY POINTS : • New MR techniques can help to differentiate flowing blood from static blood products. • Fused TOF and true-FISP images differentiate the lumen and the arterial wall, improving diagnostic performance. • Fused images may be superior to time-of-flight MR angiography alone.
