Follow-up assessment of coiled intracranial aneurysms using zTE MRA as compared with TOF MRA: a preliminary image quality study.

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
objectivesTo prospectively assess coiled intracranial aneurysms using a novel non-contrast enhanced zero echo time (zTE) MR angiography (MRA) method, and compare its image quality with time-of-flight (TOF) MRA, using digital subtraction angiography (DSA) as reference.
methodsTwenty-five patients (10 males and 15 females; age 53.96 ± 12.46 years) were enrolled in this monocentric study. MRA sequences were performed 24 h before DSA. Susceptibility artefact intensity and flow signal within the parent artery were carried out using a 4-point scale. Occlusion status was assessed using the 3-grade Montreal scale.
resultsScores of zTE were higher than TOF for both susceptibility artefact intensity (3.42 ± 0.64, 2.92 ± 0.63, P = 0.01) and flow signal (3.66 ± 0.95, 3.24 ± 1.24, P = 0.01). DSA revealed 17 complete occlusions, five residual neck aneurysms and two residual aneurysms. Inter-observer agreement was excellent (weighted κ: 0.89) for zTE and good (weighted κ: 0.68) for TOF. Intermodality agreement was excellent for zTE (weighted κ: 0.95) and good for TOF (weighted κ: 0.80). Correlations of both MRA sequences with DSA were high (zTE, Spearman's ρ: 0.91; TOF, Spearman's ρ: 0.81).
conclusionszTE MRA showed promising results for follow-up assessment of coiled intracranial aneurysms and was superior to TOF MRA for visualizing the parent artery and evaluating occlusion status. KEY POINTS: • Various MRA sequences were applied for follow-up assessment of coiled intracranial aneurysms. • zTE MRA was less sensitive to susceptibility artefacts and haemodynamics. • In this monocentric study, zTE MRA was equivalent to DSA. • zTE MRA maybe an alternative to TOF MRA for follow-up assessment.
