Fingerprinting Orientation Distribution Functions in diffusion MRI detects smaller crossing angles.
Article in NeuroImage, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Diffusion tractography is routinely used to study white matter architecture and brain connectivity in vivo. A key step for successful tractography of neuronal tracts is the correct identification of tract directions in each voxel. Here we propose a fingerprinting-based methodology to identify these fiber directions in Orientation Distribution Functions, dubbed ODF-Fingerprinting (ODF-FP). In ODF-FP, fiber configurations are selected based on the similarity between measured ODFs and elements in a pre-computed library. In noisy ODFs, the library matching algorithm penalizes the more complex fiber configurations. ODF simulations and analysis of bootstrapped partial and whole-brain in vivo datasets show that the ODF-FP approach improves the detection of fiber pairs with small crossing angles while maintaining fiber direction precision, which leads to better tractography results. Rather than focusing on the ODF maxima, the ODF-FP approach uses the whole ODF shape to infer fiber directions to improve the detection of fiber bundles with small crossing angle. The resulting fiber directions aid tractography algorithms in accurately displaying neuronal tracts and calculating brain connectivity.
