Quantitative bi-component T2* analysis of histologically normal Achilles tendons.
Article in Muscles, ligaments and tendons journal. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
introductionthe aim of this pilot study was to implement ultrashort echo time (UTE) MRI with bi-component analysis on grossly normal Achilles tendons with histologic correlation. MATERIALS AND
methodssix tendon samples which were grossly normal on visual inspection and palpation were harvested. A 2D UTE pulse sequence was implemented on a 3T MR scanner and bi-component and single-component T2* analysis was performed. Tendon samples were histologically processed and evaluated.
resultsmean short T2* fraction was 79.2% (95% confidence interval [CI], 70.1 - 88.3%), mean short T2* was 1.8 ms (95% CI, 1.3 - 2.3 ms), mean long T2* fraction was 20.8% (95% CI, 11.7 - 29.9%), mean long T2* was 9.2 ms (95% CI, 5.1 - 13.3 ms), and mean single-component T2* was 2.5 ms (95% CI, 1.8 - 3.1 ms). DISCUSSION: 2D UTE MRI with bi-component and single-component T2* analysis was successfully implemented. Inter-individual variation can be demonstrated in grossly and histologically normal Achilles tendons.
