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

purposeTo evaluate the relationship between bone mineral density (BMD) and magnetic susceptibility, and between proton density fat fraction and susceptibility, in inflamed trabecular bone.

methodsTwo different phantoms modeling the fat fraction (FF) and BMD values of healthy bone marrow and disease states were scanned using a multiecho gradient echo acquisition at 3T. After correction for fat-water chemical shift, susceptibility mapping was performed, and susceptibility measurements were compared with BMD and FF values using linear regression. Patients with spondyloarthritis were scanned using the same protocol, and susceptibility values were calculated in areas of inflamed bone (edema) and fat metaplasia, both before and after accounting for the contribution of fat to the total susceptibility.

resultsSusceptibility values in the phantoms were accurately described by a 2D linear function, with a negative correlation between BMD and susceptibility and a positive correlation between FF and susceptibility (adjusted R

conclusionsBMD and proton density fat fraction both influence the total susceptibility of bone marrow and failure to account for the fat contribution could lead to errors in BMD quantification. We propose a method for removing the fat contribution from the total susceptibility, based on the observed linear relationship between susceptibility and FF. In inflamed bone, the overall increase in susceptibility in areas of fat metaplasia is at least partly due to increased fat content.
