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

purposeTo develop a fast and accurate monoexponential fitting algorithm based on Auto-Regression on Linear Operations (ARLO) of data, and to validate its accuracy and computational speed by comparing it with the conventional Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) and Log-Linear (LL) algorithms.

methodsARLO, LM, and LL performances for T2* mapping were evaluated in simulation and in vivo imaging of liver (n=15) and myocardial (n=1) iron overload patients and the brain (two healthy volunteers).

resultsIn simulations, ARLO consistently delivered accuracy similar to LM and significantly superior to LL. In in vivo mapping of T2 * values, ARLO showed excellent agreement with LM, while LL showed only limited agreements with ARLO and LM. Compared with LM and LL in the liver, ARLO was 125 and 8 times faster using our Matlab implementations, and 156 and 13 times faster using our C++ implementations. In C++ implementations, ARLO reduced the online whole-brain processing time from 9 min 15 s of LM and 35 s of LL to 2.7 s, providing T2 * maps approximately in real time.

conclusionDue to comparable accuracy and significantly higher speed, ARLO can be considered as a valid alternative to the conventional LM algorithm for online T2 * mapping.
