Quantification of liver iron concentration using the apparent susceptibility of hepatic vessels.
Article in Quantitative imaging in medicine and surgery, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
backgroundThe quantification of liver iron concentration (LIC) is important for the monitoring of the body iron level in patients with iron overload. Conventionally, LIC is quantified through R2 or R2* mapping using MRI. In this paper, we demonstrate an alternative approach for LIC quantification through measuring the apparent susceptibility of hepatic vessels using quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM).
methodsQSM was performed in the liver region with the iterative susceptibility weighted imaging and mapping (iSWIM) algorithm, using the geometry of the vessels extracted from magnitude images as constraints. The susceptibilities of liver tissue were estimated from the apparent susceptibility of the hepatic veins and then converted to LIC. The accuracy of the proposed method was first validated using simulations, and then confirmed using
resultsSimulation results showed that the use of a 3D data acquisition protocol with higher image resolution led to improved accuracy in LIC quantification using QSM. Both simulations and
conclusionsThe proposed method offers a reliable and flexible way to quantify LIC and has the potential to extend the range of LIC that can be accurately measured using R2* and QSM.
