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

purposeUltrahigh-field MRI (UHF-MRI) with an in-plane spatial resolution of less than 100 μm is known as MR microscopy (MRM). MRM provides highly resolved anatomical images and allows quantitative assessment of different tissue types using diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the feasibility of combined in vivo anatomical and quantitative assessment of the developing chicken eye in ovo. PROCEDURES: Thirty-eight fertilized chicken eggs were examined at 7.1 T (ClinScan, Bruker Biospin, Germany) acquiring a dataset comprising T2-weighted anatomical images, DWI, and diffusion tensor imaging. To reduce motion artifacts, the eggs were moderately cooled before and during MR imaging. Two eggs were imaged daily for the entire developmental period, and 36 eggs were examined pairwise at only one time point of the embryonic period. Development of the eye was anatomically and quantitatively assessed.

resultsFrom the D5 embryonic stage (116-124 h), MRM allowed differentiation between lens and vitreous body. The lens core and periphery were first identified at D9. DWI allowed quantification of lens maturation based on a significant decrease in apparent diffusion coefficient values and course of fractional anisotropy. Repeated moderate cooling had no influence on the development of the chicken embryo.

conclusionsMRM allows in vivo assessment of embryonic development of the chicken eye in ovo without affecting normal development. The method provides anatomical information supplemented by quantitative evaluation of lens development using DWI. With increasing availability of ultrahigh-field MR systems, this technique may provide a noninvasive complementary tool in the field of experimental ophthalmology.
