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

backgroundTo assess the feasibility of noninvasive and quantitative evaluation of hepatic pathophysiological changes in rabbit hepatic warm ischemia-reperfusion injury (WIRI) models by using intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM), diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) MRI.

methodsTwenty rabbits were randomly divided into hepatic WIRI model group and sham-operation group (n = 10 for each group). Hepatic WIRI was induced in rabbit by occluding hepatic inflow for 30 min and reperfusion for 6 h. The control group only underwent laparotomy and liver ligament dissection. IVIM with 11 b values (0 to 800 s/mm

resultsAll of MR parameters showed moderate to excellent interobserver reproducibility. True diffusion (Dslow), pseudodiffusion (Dfast), perfusion fraction (PF), and mean diffusitivity (MD) were lower in WIRI models than in control rabbits (P < 0.01), R2* was higher in WIRI models than in control rabbits (P < 0.001), while fractional anisotropy (FA) showed no statistical difference. There were significant differences in I score and all of biochemical parameters between the two groups (P < 0.01). Functional MR parameters corresponded well with all of biochemical parameters and some of histopathological parameters (P < 0.05). Histopathological analysis showed the structure and morphology of hepatic lobule was normal and clear in control rabbits, while diffuse hepatocyte swelling, central vein and sinusoids congestion, and inflammatory cell infiltration in WIRI models.

conclusionsIVIM, DTI, and BOLD MRI are noninvasive and useful techniques for assessing the microenvironment changes of hepatic WIRI in rabbit models.
