Brain-core temperature of patients before and after orthotopic liver transplantation assessed by DWI thermometry.
Article in Japanese journal of radiology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeTo assess brain-core temperature of end-stage liver disease patients undergoing orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) using a temperature measurement technique based on the apparent diffusion coefficient of the cerebrospinal fluid in the lateral ventricles. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe study group was composed of 19 patients with a model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score of 23.7 who underwent MR imaging before and after OLT. MR imaging studies were performed with a 1.5T MR scanner. Brain-core temperature (T: °C) was calculated using the following equation from the apparent diffusion coefficient (D) of the cerebrospinal fluid in the lateral ventricles: [Formula: see text] measured with a DWI sequence (b value 1000 s/mm
resultsBrain-core temperature measurements were successfully taken in all patients before and after OLT. The measured brain-core temperature mean ± standard deviation was 38.67 ± 1.76 °C before OLT and 38.60 ± 0.99 °C after OLT, showing no significant difference (P = 0.643).
conclusionsBrain-core temperature was stable in patients undergoing OLT. DWI thermometry may provide a supplementary brain biomarker to confirm that cerebral blood flow and metabolism are stable in patients undergoing OLT.
