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

purposeWe propose a new generalized diffusion tensor imaging (GDTI) experimental design and analysis framework for efficiently measuring orientationally averaged diffusion-weighted images (DWIs), which remove bulk signal modulations attributed to diffusion anisotropy and quantify isotropic higher-order diffusion tensors (HOT). We illustrate how this framework accelerates the clinical measurement of rotation-invariant tissue microstructural parameters derived from HOT, such as the HOT-Trace and the mean t-kurtosis. THEORY AND

methodsFor a large range of b-values, we compare orientationally averaged DWIs measured with high angular resolution diffusion imaging to those obtained with the proposed isotropic GDTI (IGDTI) experimental design. We compare rotation-invariant microstructural parameters measured with IGDTI to those derived from HOTs measured explicitly with GDTI.

resultsIn both fixed-brain microimaging and in vivo clinical experiments, IGDTI accurately quantifies mean apparent diffusion coefficient (mADC)-weighted DWIs over a wide range of b-values and allows efficient computation of HOT-derived scalar tissue parameters from a small number of DWIs.

conclusionsIGDTI provides direct and accurate estimates of orientationally averaged tissue water mobilities over a wide range of b-values. This efficient method may enable new, sensitive, and quantitative assessments for clinical applications in which changes in mADC can be observe,d such as detecting and characterizing stroke, cancers, and neurodegenerative diseases.
