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

purposeThis work aims to investigate the utility of velocity selective inversion pulses for perfusion weighted functional MRI.

methodsTracer kinetic properties of velocity selective inversion (VSI) pulses as an input function for an arterial spin labeling (ASL) experiment were characterized in a group of healthy participants. Numerical simulations were conducted to search for a robust set of timing parameters for FMRI time series acquisition with maximal signal to noise ratio efficiency. The performance of three VSI pulse sequences with different timing parameters was compared with a pseudocontinuous ASL sequence in a simple FMRI experiment conducted on healthy participants.

resultsThe fit to the tracer kinetic model yielded arterial CBV of 1.24% ± 0.52% and 0.45 ± 0.11% and perfusion rates of 60.8 ± 32.3 and 34.4 ± 5.4 mL/min/100 g for gray and white matter, respectively. Bolus arrival times were estimated as 75.7 ± 21 ms and 349 ± 78 ms for gray and white matter, respectively. The FMRI experiments showed that VSI pulses yield comparable sensitivity to PCASL with similar timing parameters (TR = 4 s). However, VSI pulses could be used at a faster acquisition speed (TR = 3 s) and were more sensitive to neuronal activity than PCASL pulses, as evidenced by the 31% higher Z scores obtained on average in the active regions.

conclusionVSI pulses can be very beneficial for perfusion weighted functional MRI because of their tracer kinetic characteristics, which allow a faster acquisition rate while maintaining an efficient labeling input function.
