Study of proximal femoral bone perfusion with 3D T1 dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI: a feasibility study.
Article in European radiology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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
objectiveThe objective of this study was to compare measurements of semi-quantitative and pharmacokinetic parameters in areas of red (RBM) and yellow bone marrow (YBM) of the hip, using an in-house high-resolution DCE T1 sequence, and to assess intra- and inter-observer reproducibility of these measurements.
methodsThe right hips of 21 adult patients under 50 years of age were studied. Spatial resolution was 1.8 × 1.8 × 1.8 mm(3), and temporal resolution was 13.5 seconds. Two musculoskeletal radiologists independently processed DCE images and measured semi-quantitative and pharmacokinetic parameters in areas of YBM and RBM. Signal-to-noise (SNR) and contrast-to-noise (CNR) ratios were calculated. Intra- and inter-observer reproducibility was assessed.
resultsArea under the curve (AUC) and initial slope (IS) were significantly greater for RBM than for YBM (p < 0.05). K(trans) and kep were also significantly greater for RBM (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference in time to peak between the regions (p < 0.05). SNR, CNR, and intra- and inter-observer reproducibility were all good.
conclusionsDCE study of the whole hip is feasible with high spatial resolution using a 3D T1 sequence. Measures were possible even in low vascularized areas of the femoral head. K(trans), kep, AUC, and IS values were significantly different between red and yellow marrow, whereas TTP values were not. KEY POINTS: High-spatial-resolution dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI of hip structures is feasible. Intra- and inter-observer reproducibility is good. Red and yellow bone marrow have different perfusion patterns.
