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

Gadoxetic acid (Gd-EOB-DTPA) is a hepatocyte-specific magnetic resonance (MR) contrast agent, which has been increasingly used in recent years. However, it has been reported that Gd-EOB-DTPA related transient severe motion (TSM) is sometimes observed during the hepatic arterial phase of MR imaging, which may influence image quality. Since the hepatic arterial phase of contrast enhancement is used for the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma, it is crucial to obtain a decent arterial phase imaging. The present study analyzed motion in patients receiving Gd-EOB-DTPA, comparing a single arterial phase acquisition to a five arterial phase acquisition to determine whether the multiphase acquisition was able to alleviate the TSM-related hepatic arterial MR imaging artifact. It was demonstrated that the single-phase acquisition failed to provide adequate diagnostic image quality in patients with TSM, whereas the multiphase arterial acquisition provided acceptable image quality in 20/22 (90.9%) patients with TSM. In conclusion, the results of the present study demonstrated that multiphase arterial acquisition is superior to single-phase arterial acquisition, mitigating arterial MR imaging artifacts caused by TSM after the administration of Gd-EOB-DTPA.
