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 compare hepatobiliary phase (HBP) images obtained at 10 and 20 min after Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI for assessment of liver function in rabbit fibrosis model on 3.0 T MR imaging.

methods34 animals were separated into three groups: 5 for a control group, 14 for a mild fibrosis group, and 15 for a severe fibrosis group based on pathological proof. T1 relaxation times (T1rt) were measured on T1 mapping and reduction rates of T1rt (rrT1rt) were calculated. HBP images were obtained at 10 and 20 min after Gd-EOB-DTPA enhancement. Indocyanine green retention rates at 15 min (ICG R15) were performed for all animals.

resultsT1rt on pre-enhancement imaging showed no significant difference (p > 0.05) among all groups. T1rt on 10 min HBP and 20 min HBP showed significant difference (p < 0.05) among all groups. T1rt and rrT1rt in three groups showed no-significant difference (p > 0.05) between 10 min HBP and 20 min HBP. T1rt on both 10 and 20 min HBP showed significant correlation with ICG R15 (p < 0.05); rrT1rt on both 10 min HBP and 20 min HBP showed significant inverse correlation with ICG R15 (p < 0.05).

conclusionsComparing 10 min HBP and 20 min HBP T1 mapping after Gd-EOB-DTPA enhancement, our results suggest that 10 min HBP T1 mapping is feasible for quantitatively assessing liver function.
