Mandibular canal visibility using a plain volumetric interpolated breath-hold examination sequence in MRI.
Article in Dento maxillo facial radiology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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 evaluate the validity of plain volumetric interpolated breath-hold examinations (VIBEs) for detecting the course of the mandibular canal, and to compare the results with contrast-enhanced (CE) VIBE images.
methodsFrom our imaging archives, we collected 28 cases taken with a VIBE sequence both before and after intravenous administration of gadolinium hydrate, and then two observers evaluated neurovascular bundle (NVB) visibility in the VIBE images. For the invisible NVB cases, we identified the invisible areas and analysed the causes of invisibility. For cases that also had corresponding CT thin slice images, we obtained a fusion image between MRI and CT, and investigated the relationship between the NVB in VIBE and the mandibular canal in CT images.
resultsThe visibility of the NVBs in plain VIBE was 89%, the same as on CE VIBE. There were three invisible cases in each plain and CE VIBE images. The invisible areas were premolar in three cases, and molar in one case, and the causes of the invisibility were a metallic artefact in one case and motion artefacts in the other two cases.
conclusionsA plain VIBE can depict the NVB at the same rate as CE VIBE, and is suitable for detecting NVBs.
