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

purposeTo compare bicomponent ultrashort echo time (UTE) T2* parameters of patellar tendon between healthy volunteers and patients with patellar tendinopathy. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis study was performed with Institutional Review Board approval and with all subjects signing informed consent. A UTE- T2* mapping sequence was performed at 3.0T on the knees of 10 healthy volunteers and in 11 patients with patellar tendinopathy. The UTE- T2* relaxation times of the fast relaxing macromolecular bound water component ( T2*F) and the slow relaxing bulk water component ( T2*S) and the fraction of the fast relaxing macromolecular bound water component (F

resultsMean T2*F, T2*S, and F

conclusionPatients with patellar tendinopathy had significantly higher T2*F and significantly lower F LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 1 Technical Efficacy: Stage 2 J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2017;46:1441-1447.
