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

background and purposeInflow jet characteristics may be related to aneurysmal bleb formation and rupture. We investigated the visualization threshold on the basis of the flow velocity in the parent artery to classify the inflow jet patterns observed on 4D flow MR imaging. MATERIALS AND

methodsFifty-seven unruptured aneurysms (24 bifurcation and 33 sidewall aneurysms) were subjected to 4D flow MR imaging to visualize inflow streamline bundles whose velocity exceeded visualization thresholds corresponding to 60%, 75%, and 90% of the maximum flow velocity in the parent artery. The shape of the streamline bundle was determined visually, and the inflow jet patterns were classified as concentrated, diffuse, neck-limited, and unvisualized.

resultsAt the 75% threshold, bifurcation aneurysms exhibited a concentrated inflow jet pattern at the highest rate. At this threshold, the inflow jets were concentrated in 13 aneurysms (group C, 22.8%), diffuse in 18 (group D, 31.6%), neck-limited in 11 (group N, 19.3%), and unvisualized in 15 (group U, 26.3%). In 16 (28.1%) of the 57 aneurysms, the inflow jet pattern was different at various thresholds. Most inflow parameters, including the maximum inflow velocity and rate, the inflow velocity ratio, and the inflow rate ratio, were significantly higher in groups C and D than in groups N and U.

conclusionsThe inflow jet pattern may depend on the threshold applied to visualize the inflow streamlines on 4D flow MR imaging. For the classification of the inflow jet patterns on 4D flow MR imaging, the 75% threshold may be optimal among the 3 thresholds corresponding to 60%, 75%, and 90% of the maximum flow velocity in the parent artery.
