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

Diffusion MRI data can be affected by hardware and subject-related artefacts that can adversely affect downstream analyses. Therefore, automated quality control (QC) is of great importance, especially in large population studies where visual QC is not practical. In this work, we introduce an automated diffusion MRI QC framework for single subject and group studies. The QC is based on a comprehensive, non-parametric approach for movement and distortion correction: FSL EDDY, which allows us to extract a rich set of QC metrics that are both sensitive and specific to different types of artefacts. Two different tools are presented: QUAD (QUality Assessment for DMRI), for single subject QC and SQUAD (Study-wise QUality Assessment for DMRI), which is designed to enable group QC and facilitate cross-studies harmonisation efforts.
