Temperature-corrected post-mortem 1.5 T MRI quantification of non-pathologic upper abdominal organs.
Article in International journal of legal medicine, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesThe present study aimed to evaluate if simultaneous temperature-corrected T1, T2, and proton density (PD) 1.5 T post-mortem MR quantification [quantitative post-mortem magnetic resonance imaging (QPMMRI)] is feasible for characterizing and discerning non-pathologic upper abdominal organs (liver, spleen, pancreas, kidney) with regard to varying body temperatures.
methodsQPMMRI was performed on 80 corpses (25 females, 55 males; mean age 56.2 years, SD 17.2) prior to autopsy. Core body temperature was measured during QPMMRI. Quantitative T1, T2, and PD values were measured in the liver, pancreas, spleen, and left kidney and temperature corrected to 37 °C. Histologic examinations were conducted on each measured organ to determine non-pathologic organs. Quantitative T1, T2, and PD values of non-pathologic organs were ANOVA tested against values of other non-pathologic organ types.
resultsBased on temperature-corrected quantitative T1, T2, and PD values, ANOVA testing verified significant differences between the non-pathologic liver, spleen, pancreas, and left kidneys.
conclusionsTemperature-corrected 1.5 T QPMMRI based on T1, T2, and PD values may be feasible for characterization and differentiation of the non-pathologic liver, spleen, pancreas, and kidney. The results may provide a base for future specific pathology diagnosis of upper abdominal organs in post-mortem imaging.
