Neck Vessel Cross-Sectional Area Measured with MRI: Scan-Rescan Reproducibility for Longitudinal Evaluations.
Article in Journal of neuroimaging : official journal of the American Society of Neuroimaging, 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
background and purposeThe cross-sectional area (CSA) of common carotid arteries-internal carotid arteries (CCA-ICAs), vertebral arteries (VAs), and internal jugular veins (IJVs) is influenced by aging. However, the neck vessel CSA can be affected by other factors as well, including subject positioning, hydration, and respiration, especially in longitudinal studies. This study aimed to assess scan-rescan reproducibility of CCA-ICAs, VAs, and IJVs CSA measurements in order to evaluate their feasibility for longitudinal CSA assessments, and to apply the segmentation method on a longitudinal pilot dataset.
methodsTwo set of 2-dimensional neck magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) images were acquired on a 3-T scanner from two separate datasets: 9 healthy individuals (HIs) were scanned 5 days apart (scan-rescan dataset) and 12 HIs were acquired 5 years apart (baseline-follow-up dataset). CCA-ICAs, VAs, and IJVs were segmented along the whole vessel length between C3 and C7 intervertebral spaces. Repeated measure analysis of covariance, adjusted for cervical level and sample, and Wilcoxon signed-rank sum test were used to assess the scan-rescan and baseline-follow-up CSA differences. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was also computed to evaluate scan-rescan reliability.
resultsNo significant CSA differences were found for the scan-rescan and baseline-follow-up CSA comparisons, using the whole vessel length or single cervical level measurements. ICC analysis showed good degree of scan-rescan reproducibility (considering whole vessel measures: ICC > .9, P-value < .001 for CCA-ICAs, ICC > .6, P-value < .001 for VAs, and ICC > .7, P-value < .001 for IJVs).
conclusionsScan-rescan reproducibility of CCA-ICAs, VAs, and IJVs CSA measurements is high, making longitudinal studies feasible.
