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

objectivesTo assess brain damage in Parkinson's disease (PD) based on apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) data obtained from ultra-high b-values.

methodsEighteen PD patients and 18 controls received diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) with standard b-values (0, 1,000 s/mm(2)) and 15 b-values (0-5,000 s/mm(2)). Standard ADC (ADCst) maps were calculated from standard b-values, while maps of pure diffusion coefficients (D), pseudo-diffusion coefficients (D(*)), and ultra-high ADCs (ADCuh) were calculated from the 15 b-values using a tri-component model. In this model, D and D(*) values were quantified with a bi-exponential equation using b-values less than 2,000 s/mm(2), while ADCuh was quantified by fitting the signals at ultra-high b-values (2,000-5,000 s/mm(2)) to the mono-exponential equation. ADCst, ADCuh, D, and D(*) of the globus pallidus (GP), putamen (P), and substantia nigra (SN) were compared between PD patients and normal control subjects.

resultsADCuh of the GP, P, and SN was significantly lower in PD patients than those in control subjects (P < 0.001), while ADCst, D, and D(*) of the GP, P and SN were not different between the two groups (P > 0.05).

conclusionsADCuh may be a useful measurement for evaluating brain damage in PD patients. KEY POINTS: • DWI with ultra-high b-values may provide new insight into Parkinson's disease pathology • ADC calculated using ultra-high b-values is different between PD and controls • ADC uh may be associated with water transportation by aquaporins.
