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

backgroundOrally administered substances, which reduce image contamination by overlying gastrointestinal fluid signals, can be used to enhance the quality of MRCP images. Recently, a new standardized formula consisting of biological substances has become available. The objective of this study is to provide a first assessment of achievable MRCP image quality, taste and palatability of this new dedicated agent.

methodsIn January 2015 to May 2015 practicing radiologists in Germany, Austria and Switzerland were asked to evaluate image quality as well as taste and palatability when using the new agent (LumiVision

resultsA total 185 of 475 radiologic institutions (39%) submitted feedback on image quality, 187 (39%) on the taste/palatability. Assessments of image quality regarding presence of disturbing gastrointestinal fluid signal resulted in a median of 2. The majority of patients rated the subjective taste as very good (median of 1). No side effects of relevance were recorded.

conclusionThis large survey shows that the tested product is considered effective by radiologists regarding MRCP image quality. Patients' feedback on taste and palatability was very positive.
