A 3T Phase-Sensitive Inversion Recovery MRI Sequence Improves Detection of Cervical Spinal Cord Lesions and Shows Active Lesions in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis.
Article in AJNR. American journal of neuroradiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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.
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
background and purposeMagnetic Resonance Imaging is the modality of choice to detect spinal cord lesions in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). However, this imaging is challenging. New sequences such as phase-sensitive inversion recovery have been developed to improve detection. Our aim was to compare a 3D phase-sensitive inversion recovery and a conventional imaging dataset including postcontrast T2WI and T1WI to detect MS spinal cord lesions. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis retrospective single-center study included 100 consecutive patients with MS (mean age, 41 years) from January 2015 to June 2016. One senior neuroradiologist and 1 junior radiologist blinded to clinical data checked for new spinal cord lesions, individually analyzing conventional and 3D phase-sensitive inversion recovery datasets separately, placing a 3-week delay between the 2 readings. A consensus reading was done with a third senior neuroradiologist. A Wilcoxon test was used to compare the 2 imaging datasets. Intra- and interobserver agreement was assessed by the κ coefficient.
results3D phase-sensitive inversion recovery detected significantly more lesions than conventional imaging (480 versus 168,
conclusionsOur study showed that 3D phase-sensitive inversion recovery significantly improved detection of cervical spinal cord lesions, including both enhancing and nonenhancing lesions in patients with MS.
